Manchester Mr. Mac's Program To Help Feed Children

MANCHESTER, NH — Mr. Mac's Macaroni and Cheese has announced its "Mac Gives Back" initiative to help feed local children. Through the end of July, Mr. Mac's will donate $1 for every Take & Bake order to Manchester Salvation Army "Kids Cafe" program, which provides hot meals for area children. Salvation Army officials expect the program to make a big difference.

"It broke our hearts to learn that so many children, right here in NH are going hungry," said Patrick Cain, cofounder of Mr. Mac's Macaroni and Cheese, in a statement. "We had to do something."

Setting out to help alleviate child hunger, Mr. Mac's management team came across Salvation Army Capt. Michael Harper. The team toured the Salvation Army Cedar Street facility and became impressed with the dedication and endless energy toward making the community a better place, the company said in a statement.

In response to the Mac Gives Back program, Harper said, "We are so grateful to Mr. Mac's. This program will no doubt make a huge difference to the Kids Cafe program. My wife and I have been fans of Mr. Mac's for years, and now we are also fans of their generous hearts!"

Mr. Mac's "Take and Bake" macaroni and cheese specialties are often described as the best comfort food on the planet, according to the company.

"Making a difference to those in need on the local level is why the initiative has been embraced by all the employees of Mr. Mac's, their guests and certainly those in New Hampshire in need," said Mr. Mac's in a statement.

Mr. Mac's Manchester location is at 497 Hooksett Road. For more information visit Mr-Macs.com.
