Effort aims to raise $50,000 for Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign during September

OKLAHOMA CITY - Sept. 4, 2013 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, one of the nation’s leading frozen dessert chains, announced today it is partnering with Share Our Strength to raise funds for the nationwide No Kid Hungry campaign throughout September. To help raise awareness of the issue of childhood hunger in America, each Orange Leaf location will sell limited edition "Go Orange" commemorative cups. Seventy-five cents from the sale of the $1 cups will be donated to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Additionally, customers who purchase the cups will receive a coupon for three free ounces of froyo to be used on a return visit.

September also marks the opening of Orange Leaf’s 300th store, which is located in New York City at 526 Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side. This benchmark reflects the aggressive growth strategy that has made Orange Leaf one of the fastest growing froyo concepts in the country.

"Orange is the color for hunger awareness and September is No Kid Hungry month, so it is only natural that Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt will ‘Go Orange for No Kid Hungry’ to support this cause during the month," said Reese Travis, CEO of Orange Leaf. "We have a deep sense of community commitment in each of our 300 stores, and are confident we will not only reach our goal of raising $50,000 but also engage the communities we serve in helping to end childhood hunger in America."

In addition to purchasing a Go Orange for No Kid Hungry cup, patrons can also make credit card donations at all Orange Leaf locations. "Our goal is to contribute at least $50,000 to this very worthy cause but we hope the generosity of our patrons helps us bump that amount even higher," added Travis.

"No child should grow up hungry in America, but one in five children struggles with hunger," said Billy Shore, Founder and CEO of Share Our Strength®. "With the help of partners like Orange Leaf, the No Kid Hungry campaign is working to ensure all children get the healthy food they need, every day."
