Margaritaville will be donating a portion of their proceeds that week to <a href="http://www.greatamericandineout.org/">Share Our Strength&#8217;s Dine Out For No Kid Hungry</a>.</p>
<p>More than 16 million kids in America struggle with hunger. Share Our Strength connects these kids to the food they need, not just today, but for the long term. Share Our Strength invests the funds raised through Dine Out For No Kid Hungry in its growing number of state and city-based partnerships and in nonprofit organizations across the country. The investments are focused on helping end childhood hunger in the following ways:<br />
* Helping to feed more kids during the summer when school lunches are not available.<br />
* Helping more kids start the school day off right by connecting them to school breakfast.<br />
* Helping afterschool programs provide nutritious meals and snacks.<br />
* Helping families get the food they need at home, by improving access to SNAP (food stamps) and WIC.<br />
* Teaching families how to prepare affordable, healthy meals, and bringing fresh and healthy food options to high-risk communities.</p>
