SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In advance of
the holiday season, OpenTable, the world's leading provider of
online restaurant reservations and part of Booking Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BKNG), has once again partnered with No Kid Hungry, a
national campaign to end childhood hunger in America. With this
year's partnership, OpenTable and No Kid Hungry will continue
adding to the nearly 4 million total meals donated since first
partnering together in 2017.
Beginning today, December 3, 2019,
OpenTable diners have the option of donating their dining points to
help connect children living with hunger to the food they need.
Every 100 points donated can provide a child in need with up to
five healthy meals. The campaign will extend through Monday, December 16, 2019 and OpenTable has
committed to match donations up to 250,000 meals to deepen the
impact of this effort.
"No Kid Hungry has made an incredible impact on addressing
childhood hunger and poverty in this country but there is still so
much work to be done," said Jessica
Jensen, Senior Vice President of Marketing at OpenTable.
"We've made it as easy as possible for our diners to use their
points and help us surpass last year's donation of up to 2.7
million meals."
"One in seven children in the U.S. lives with hunger," said
Debbie Shore, Co-founder of Share
Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign.
"Hunger can have devastating consequences for their health and
wellbeing. We're grateful to be partnering with OpenTable this
holiday season to help feed kids in need. By the simple act of
donating their loyalty points, diners can make a huge impact in the
lives of children all across the country. Just 100 points can
provide up to five meals to kids in need. Now that's something to
celebrate!"
To donate points, diners can visit their OpenTable profile pages
to view their points and select "donate my points." From there,
diners will have an opportunity to donate a portion or all their
points to support No Kid Hungry. Donations will run between
December 3, 2019 – December 16, 2019. For more information, please
