Now if you didn’t know, July 13th is National French Fry Day. And while yes, many fast food restaurants around the nation invited us to indulge in one of our favorite foods yesterday, it was also a day that served as a platform to benefit children in need. Houston rapper and entrepreneur Slim Thug is not only widely known for his music and business savvy, but also for his philanthropic spirit and efforts. So it was no surprise to see him roll up his sleeves (literally) and partner with Checkers® & Rally’s® for a worthy cause benefitting No Kid Hungry.
Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., the parent company of Checkers & Rally’s iconic drive-thru restaurants recently announced its #1 Most Craveable Fries in America win. They wanted to celebrate this win by giving back and engaging the community to do the same, serving up $1 fries, any size, at its restaurants across the country on National French Fry Day. Slim Thug served, greeted, gave away swag bags, showing love to his fans and the customers on this special day at the location on 13500 S. Post Oak Rd.
“We were thrilled to be named the #1 Most Craveable Fries in America by consumers, and we wanted to celebrate by giving back to the communities we serve,” said Frances Allen, President & CEO of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., and Member of the No Kid Hungry Advisory Board. We are proud to partner with them as our national charity for a second year in a row.”
Slim Thug didn’t hesitate to participate, giving his time for this campaign to end childhood hunger in America. No child should go hungry in this country. But in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, 1 in 6 kids could face hunger this year. Slim Thug’s community collaboration with Checkers & Rally’s to benefit No Kid Hungry is a valuable effort working to end childhood hunger, also helping No Kid Hungry to expand and enhance programs that will give all children the healthy food they need to thrive.
No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. For every order of fries sold, Checkers & Rally’s donated the full dollar to No Kid Hungry. For more information, please visit www.checkers.com and www.nokidhungry.org.
