Maggiano’s Little Italy® Partners with Feeding America

to Give Away One Million Meals

Maggiano’s is rallying guests to raise one million meals for Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief charity, by simply enjoying the brand’s beloved Classic Pasta menu offerings.

“Buy One, Take One, Give One”

This October, Maggiano’s invites guests to bring the generous Italian-American dining experience the brand is known for to the millions of Americans struggling with hunger by simply enjoying one of the brand’s beloved Classic Pasta menu offerings.

For the past three years, Maggiano’s guests who order a Classic Pasta in-restaurant have received a second Classic Pasta on the house to take home, compliments of the chef.

Expanding the breadth of this generosity platform, participating Maggiano’s restaurants nationwide will make a meal donation for every Classic Pasta ordered in October to Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief charity.

To further support the one in six Americans facing hunger, every guest who dines in a participating Maggiano’s restaurant on October 22 will ‘take’ a Classic Pasta home, and in turn, the brand will ‘give’ a donation to Feeding America.

Maggiano’s On the House CLASSiC PASTAS

In August 2009, Maggiano’s introduced a unique twist on the two for one offer with the brand’s Classic Pasta menu, a response to the increasing guest need for affordable dining options in a difficult economy. This menu offering allows guests to choose from a selection of handmade pastas and baked specialties to enjoy for lunch or dinner, and go home with a free Classic Pasta to enjoy tomorrow. Maggiano’s is the firstrestaurant of any scale to create an offer of this magnitude and is proud to have given away six million Classic Pastas on the house to date.
