Stonefire Grill Supports Hunger Action Day on September 10
09.08.24
Stonefire Grill is committed to raising awareness about the growing issue of food insecurity during Hunger Awareness Month this September. As part of this effort, all 12 Stonefire Grill locations will participate in a special initiative on Hunger Action Day, September 10, donating $5 from every "Meal for 2" purchased.
Guests can choose to dine in, take out, or place their order using the local food bank’s online portal. The "Meals for 2," priced at $34.99, offer two options: a half tri-tip with a shareable garden or Caesar salad and a personal side dish, or a half-grilled chicken paired with a 10-ounce tri-tip and a barbecue chopped salad. Both meals include four freshly baked breadsticks and are designed to feed two people.
By enjoying a delicious meal at Stonefire Grill, guests are also supporting those struggling with food insecurity. While many recognize the increasing issue of hunger, few are aware of the stark statistics: Over 35 million people in the U.S. face hunger daily, affecting individuals across all demographics.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 10.2% of households experienced food insecurity last year, ranging from reduced food intake to disrupted eating patterns. Economic hardship is closely tied to food insecurity, with 26.6% of households below the poverty line being the most affected. Southern and Western states typically see higher rates of food insecurity compared to other regions.
Hunger Awareness Month and Hunger Action Day were established to inform the public, drive policy change, and encourage community involvement in the fight against hunger. Stonefire Grill's Los Angeles locations will support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, while Orange County locations will partner with Second Harvest Food Bank.
The Ventura County restaurants will contribute to Food Share, and the Rancho Cucamonga location will raise funds for Feeding America Riverside/San Bernardino. With 12 locations across Southern California—including Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties—Stonefire Grill is making it easy for everyone to take part in this important cause.
