Paris Baguette, No Kid Hungry raise over US$200,000 to fight hunger
The collective effort is expected to help nearly 14 million children across the U.S. who face hunger by providing them with access to nutritious meals essential to their growth, development, and academic success.
USA – Paris Baguette, the popular neighbourhood bakery café brand, has teamed up with No Kid Hungry, a national campaign focused on ending childhood hunger in the United States, to make a significant impact in the fight against food insecurity among children.
The partnership, launched in late 2025, builds on Paris Baguette’s ongoing community efforts through its “Love Baked In” initiative, emphasizing corporate social responsibility and the company’s deep commitment to supporting local communities.
From August 20 to September 30, 2025, Paris Baguette invited customers at its cafés and online to round up their purchase totals to the nearest dollar, with the extra change going directly to No Kid Hungry.
This simple yet powerful call to action resonated strongly, raising over US$200,000 and demonstrating the generosity of customers, franchise owners, and team members.
