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 will stop on:
Date: Monday May 12th
Time: 5-7pm
Address: Irving Family YMCA, 2200 W Irving Blvd, Irving TX 75061
In each market, 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.
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.

My favorite childhood memory was going to the beach with my mom and brothers. My mom would make the best hotdogs ever and we’d eat them after we swam.

My favorite memory is going to my Aunt and Uncle’s farm in Pennsylvania with my Grandmother. I loved picking blackberries with my cousins and playing in the fields.
