Bruegger's Bagels needs your help to Fight Childhood Hunger + a fun contest

Did you know according to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in five children in America cannot count on getting enough to eat each day?  To do their part, Bruegger’s Bagels will kick off a month-long campaign on September 4 to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign, joining thousands of restaurants in a fight to end childhood hunger by 2015. 

The campaign will consist of:

•  On Facebook, people can simply “Like” Bruegger’s and the bagel leader will donate $1 to Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. 

•  In the bakeries, guests can purchase coupon books for $3, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the cause. Each $3 purchase helps provide a child with up to 30 nutritious meals, and guests can use the coupons, worth more than $20 in approximate value, including free bagels, soups or sandwiches (some with purchase) for the next few months.

Bruegger’s need our help to end childhood hunger, so they have instituted a fun contest to drive coupon book sales, call “Tweet for Meals.”

•  Follow @brueggers and @OneMommaSavingM on Twitter. 

•  Send a tweet to both @brueggers and @OneMommaSavingM when you purchase a $3 coupon book at Bruegger’s with 100% of the proceeds going to Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. Sample Tweet : @brueggers and @OneMommaSavingM  I just helped feed 30 children by buying a coupon book #nokidhungy

•  The blogger with the most Tweets will win a gift card and Bruegger’s will also select random tweets from my readers to win $10 in Gift Cards!!!

Bruegger’s hope is to quadruple its donation from $25,000 in 2011 to $100,000 in 2012, to help No Kid Hungry raise awareness, support school breakfast, summer and after-school meal programs, and educate kids and their families on how to cook healthy, inexpensive meals. The campaign ends Sept. 22. 

Please also“Like” Bruegger’s Facebook page. For every new “Like” they will  provide up to 10 kids with a healthy meal.
