The restaurant chain Slim Chickens is initiating a month-long promotional activity that involves charitable donations in exchange for user downloads of the Slim Chickens mobile app in January 2026. As part of this initiative, the fast-casual franchise will commit $5 to No Kid Hungry — a non-profit organization fighting childhood hunger — for every new app download. The maximum donation is set to $40,000. In addition to the charitable component, consumers who download the Slim Chickens app will also receive a $5 credit.
This campaign builds upon Slim Chickens' existing partnership with No Kid Hungry, where it has pledged $110,000 in donations. With the $40,000 from this campaign, the total potential donation is brought up to $150,000.
Patrick Noone, chief marketing officer of Slim Chickens, shared: "Food has always been about more than a meal at Slim Chickens—it's about taking care of the communities we serve."
