The Arby’s Foundation ‘Hungry for Happiness’ Mobile Tour Stops in Dallas to Help Fight Child Hunger

On Monday, May 12, the Hungry for Happiness mobile tour will visit Dallas to help raise awareness about the issue of childhood hunger and increase participation in free summer meals sites for kids located in the area. Summer continues to be a vulnerable time for those who rely on school breakfast and lunch during the school year. The Arby’s Foundation, the charitable arm of Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc., in partnership with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign, is committed to helping kids get the food they need.

In Dallas, many school children who rely on free or reduced-price school lunches during the school year currently participate in summer meal programs. These free programs are available to kids and teens age 18 and under at thousands of summer meals sites across the country. Sites are registered with USDA and are held at safe local places such as schools, churches and community centers.

The Hungry for Happiness mobile tour has partnered with the Irving Family YMCA to provide more area children access to healthy food during the summer months. In Dallas, the mobile will stop on Monday, May 12 from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Irving Family YMCA (2200 W Irving Blvd, Irving TX 75061) – we would love for you to bring your kids to come out and support!

The tour will provide Arby’s® Kids Meals (which are endorsed by Kids LiveWell and include a Jr. turkey and cheese sandwich, apple slices and Shamrock Farms low-fat milk) to children participating in the summer meals program, distribute information on local resources to the public, and provide fun summer activities such as hula-hoop contests, tug of war, bean bag toss, basketball and other family-friendly games to get kids moving.

*This is a compensated post brought to you by Hungry for Happiness.

Families in Dallas can find a free summer meals site near them by visiting NoKidHungry.org/summer, calling 1-866-3HUNGRY, or texting FOOD to 877-877.

Dallas is one of 30 stops on the national 2014 Hungry for Happiness mobile tour. National sponsors supporting the mobile tour include Pepsi, Dr Pepper and Shamrock Farms.  Arby’s is the largest quick service restaurant chain to partner in a nationwide effort with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign, and has raised more than $9 million for its mission since 2011. Arby’s and the Arby’s Foundation have generated significant national awareness of the childhood hunger movement by leveraging its restaurants and digital and social media properties in the fight to end childhood hunger in America.

About the Arby’s Foundation

The Arby’s Foundation, whose mission is to end childhood hunger in America, is the charitable arm of Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc.  Building on a philanthropic heritage that has contributed more than $57 million to child-related causes since its inception in 1986, the Arby’s Foundation has launched a bold new movement to educate, mobilize and empower Americans with the knowledge and resources needed to ensure food security for every single child.  With more than 16.7 million U.S. children—more than 1 in 5—facing hunger daily, the Arby’s Foundation has devoted its resources to providing education and access to wholesome food choices for children across the country. The Arby’s Foundation is a registered 501 (c) (3) organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.  To learn more, visit www.arbysfoundation.org.

    oh my goodness. I love Arby’s. like it is so bad. when they had the Arby’s sauces promotion over the holidays, I bought 5 bottles. and then when I went back to get more after Christmas, they were gone. I was so heartbroken!! Although my Walmart sells their fries (I buy them almost every trip which is once every 2 weeks) and my Walmart is also now selling Olive Garden dressings, croutons, Red Robin fries, etc so I am PRAYING that they introduce Arby’s sauce!!

    That being said (lol I could go on all day about Arby’s!!!) I LOVED their Arby’s roast beef “burgers” but they got rid of them!! So now I love to get the medium roast beef which isn’t complete without an order of mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce! so delicious.

    And their Jamocha Shakes; don’t get me started!!

  270. Jennie says

    Just the regular roast beef. I’m not a sauce person, so I love that “no sauce” isn’t a special order!
