Denver, Colorado – Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, the restaurant known for its fresh flavors and good vibes, in partnership with its franchisees raised nearly $34,000 for No Kid Hungry to help end childhood hunger across the United States.

"We’re thrilled by the incredible generosity shown by our guests," said Patrick Kirk, President of Fuzzy’s Taco Shop. "It’s heartwarming to see the Fuzzy’s family come together to support such an important cause. Every dollar counts when it comes to making sure children get the nutritious meals they need, and we’re proud to be part of this effort."

Rogers Restaurant Group, Fuzzy’s Colorado-based franchisee, raised the highest total contribution across all Fuzzy’s Taco Shop locations nationwide having raised more than $14,000 during the recent No Kid Hungry ‘Food is the Most Important School Supply’ campaign.
