Better-for-You Restaurant in Bristol, TN, Raises Highest Amount of Funds Across Saladworks Chain.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — According to new estimates, 1 in 8 kids in America could face hunger this year. To help eradicate childhood hunger, Saladworks partnered with No Kid Hungry to support the communities they serve across the nation. With the help of her guests, local entrepreneur Diane Taveau raised $5,345 at her restaurant which is the highest percentage of donations to their gross sales during the promotion across out of all Saladworks locations in the country. The $5,345 raised by Saladworks Bristol can help provide 53,450 healthy meals for kids*.

“My team and I were thrilled to contribute to Saladworks fundraising efforts for No Kid Hungry this year,” said Diane Taveau, owner of Saladworks Bristol. “Seeing the staff and community come together to give back to those in need has been such a rewarding experience. I am proud of what we were able to accomplish together and that the money we raised will provide so many meals to kids and their families.”

Saladworks fundraising began nationally on September 7 and ran through November 1 at all their restaurant locations across the country and offered guests various ways to support their No Kid Hungry fundraising efforts. As the first-place winner of the Donation Competition, Saladworks Bristol will receive matching donations up to $2,500 from WOWorks, the parent company of Saladworks. The restaurant will also receive a visit from WOWorks CEO Kelly Roddy and $500 to share among their staff.

“WOWorks is excited to have had the opportunity to partner with No Kid Hungry again this year, and remain committed to help end childhood hunger in America,” said Kelly Roddy, CEO of WOWorks. “Saladworks is proud to provide guests with a variety of fresh and nutritious ingredients on our menu to customize and enjoy.
