STRATEGIC PARTNERS
May 11, 2016
La Madeleine Country French Cafe, a Dallas-based brand with more than 80 locations, is committed to raising funds to provide 1.2 million meals to children in need through Children's Hunger Fund. The goal is to raise $300,000 through its Hearts for Hope campaign at all participating cafes nationwide, according to a company press release
"We are proud to partner with Children's Hunger Fund as part of our commitment to make a difference and help in the fight to end childhood hunger," said John Cahill, president of la Madeleine Country French Cafe. "Our dedication to fighting childhood hunger through our Hearts for Hope campaign and year-round initiatives with Children's Hunger Fund is incredibly important to our la Madeleine family."
The partnership between la Madeleine and Children's Hunger Fund has grown closer with the opening of its first distribution center in Dallas. Members of la Madeleine's corporate team were the first volunteers to work at the new facility, which marks the second distribution center for the organization in Texas.
"La Madeleine is a special company and valued partner — one that we feel shares our devotion to serving children in crisis," said Dave Phillips, president and founder of Children's Hunger Fund, which has raised more than $1 billion for food and other aid to more than 20 million children in the U.S. and worldwide.
Through May 31, la Madeleine will donate $1 for every heart-shaped Linzer cookie or any other cookie purchased in the cafe. Guests who donate $5 to the cause will receive a card with six offers for free la Madeleine favorites worth over $20.
