Round-Up For Charity on The Habit Mobile App and More
(Irvine, CA) September 1st, 2020 – The Habit Burger Grill, the California-based restaurant company renowned for its award-winning Charburgers, signature sandwiches, fresh-cut salads, and more is proud to announce the next chapter in their ongoing partnership with No Kid Hungry, a campaign to end childhood hunger in America. From September 2nd through October 15th guests will be given the opportunity to round-up their check to the nearest whole dollar and donate that amount to No Kid Hungry.
