Restaurants Against Hunger 2006

                                                                  FIGHT HUNGER.EAT OUT

When given the choice between eating well and doing good, why not do both? CHoose from the hundreds of restaurants that are  taking part in the campaign and make a real difference to the world's hungry.

Restaurants Against Hunger involves food lovers all over the country. During October, restaurants will invite their customers to fight hunger simply by eating out . Participating restaurants will donate part of their takings made on selected dishes or invite you to treat children to a meal by making an optional donation when paying the bill. All funds raised during the campaign go directly to Action Against Hunger, which helps vulnerable families all around the world in their struggle to feed themselves and their families.

As Mickael Weiss from Coq D'Argent who spoke at the launch, said: "I always thought that I could not make a difference and therefore I should leave the problem for others to sort out but what I had not realised is that every donation helps no matter how small it is."

Today, hunger and poverty still claim 25,000 lives every day. A small gesture of £1 can make a huge difference, providing a full meal for five children in Zambia. As Pauline Llorca, Campaign Coordinator, said at the launch:

"Over the past eight years, we have received the support from hundreds of restaurants as well as top chefs and food critics who have a social conscience and feel that together, we can make a diference to the lives of hungry children worldwide."
