October 17, 2013

Le Duff America, which owns 400-plus Bruegger's Bagels, la Madeleine and Mimi's Cafe locations, announced today that its fundraising efforts generated more than $720,000 during the month of September for Share Our Strength's No Child Hungry.

"Our core values are grounded in creating a feeling of community; you can feel it with every visit to each of our cafés," said Jim Vinz, co-chief executive officer of Le Duff America. "Given what grounds us, we take Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign to heart. We've all rallied together around this. Our loyal guests and dedicated Le Duff and brand teams have joined forces to make a meaningful difference for kids who need it most. We should all be proud of what we've accomplished."

The café bakeries designed several donation opportunities, including the creation of special offerings of their freshly prepared menu items. Le Duff America's Dallas-based corporate employees, brand leadership and field staff also contributed without hesitation, Vinz said.

Le Duff America exceeded its fundraising goal by more than $120,000, said Vinz.
