Bradenton,
FL � September 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / First
Watch, the nation�s leading breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, announces
that in conjunction with the introduction of its new Fall menu, the award-winning
eatery will donate 10 cents to No Kid Hungry for every Pumpkin Pancake
Breakfast sold during September. The company�s Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast
has proven to be its most popular and highly anticipated Fall seasonal
menu item.
The
Fall fundraiser is only a small supplement to the 25 cents First Watch
contributes to No Kid Hungry from every kid�s meal sold year round. No
Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger today by ensuring that kids start
the day with a nutritious breakfast and families learn the skills they
need to shop and cook on a budget. This is First Watch�s ninth consecutive
year of support.
�No
Kid Hungry�s mission to end childhood hunger at home is something we are
proud to stand behind,� said Chris Tomasso, president of First Watch. �One
in five children struggles with hunger, and that�s undoubtedly too many.
We�re so humbled to work alongside this great organization and the other
businesses in our communities once again for this cause. It�s the least
we can do to up our contributions during the month of September and do
our part to help feed these kids where they live, learn and play.�
First
Watch�s limited-time Fall menu brings back two customer favorites while
introducing two new, innovative dishes. Customers can find the following
seasonal offerings in addition to the traditional breakfast, brunch and
