At Denny’s, our commitment to serving quality food, without sacrificing flavor or value, is reflected in our sourcing and dedication to animal welfare. We strongly believe in running our business as responsibly as possible, and that means paying attention to the issues that matter most to our guests.

Ending Childhood Hunger Across America

The team members at Denny's love to feed people, so it is hard for them to imagine kids not getting enough food each day. So, Denny's partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry program to make ending childhood hunger one of their main philanthropic causes. Every September, Denny’s locations across America participate in Share Our Strength’s Dine Out For No Kid Hungry™, a national fundraising event that brings together thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers to help make sure that no child in America grows up hungry.

A Scholarship Fund to Fight Childhood Hunger

Since 2011, Denny’s has developed Hungry for Education, a scholarship program designed to recognize academic achievement. Today, nine leading non-profit minority advocacy organizations help launch the program in Denny's restaurant areas. In 2018, the program will award more than $250,000 in scholarships to elementary, high school and college students for their ideas to help Denny’s fight childhood hunger.

Giving Back with the United Way of the Piedmont

United Way of the Piedmont is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people in Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union counties of South Carolina. Volunteers review agency programs and initiatives and invest in those that positively impact the most critical needs of the community. Funds are raised in the annual campaign and distributed to help those who need it most.
