Whataburger helping provide 2.5 million meals to help feed the hungry

SAN ANTONIO - Food insecurity remains an ongoing challenge for millions of Americans – but now you can help beat hunger by taking part in a special fundraiser to help the non-profit feeding America. This first-ever fundraiser is part of Orange Spirit Week, a celebration for Whataburger's 71st anniversary.

Whataburger Executive Dash Blaker explains how the campaign works.

Whataburger is partnering with Feeding America to help provide at least 2.5 million meals through local food banks across Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

From Sunday, Aug. 8, through Sunday, Aug. 15, customers who donate a minimum of $1 at any of the more than 850 Whataburger restaurants across these 10 states will receive a thank-you coupon for a free Whataburger with the purchase of a medium fry and 32-ounce drink.

Every dollar donated during the week-long fundraiser will go to Feeding America and its member food banks in the local communities where the money is given.

“Feeding America is doing such amazing work through their network of food banks. All of us at Whataburger are looking forward to joining our customers in showing support for them during Orange Spirit Week,” said Ed Nelson, Whataburger CEO. “We invite our friends and neighbors to visit their local Whataburger throughout the week and donate to help keep our children nourished and on the path to bright futures.”
