Runza® Coordinates Kids Helping Kids Book Drive

Lincoln, NE -

Throughout the month of June, Runza® encourages kids to help other kids by donating a new or gently used book at any Runza® location.

Runza® Restaurants is a long time supporter of reading and literacy. Reading expands one's imagination, strengthens vocabulary knowledge and provides an excellent opportunity for families to spend time together. The ability to read is vital in a child's quest for success in school and everyday life.

All donations will be given to youth literacy organizations to help instill the importance of reading. Kids who donate a book will receive a FREE kid-size ice cream cone.

"We encourage kids to help other kids by donating a new book or one they have in their collection. Through this effort, Runza® hopes to gather a large number of books to donate to area youth organizations. Kids who contribute a book will be rewarded with a free ice cream cone," said Donald Everett, Jr., President of Runza® National. Mr. Everett also serves as a board member for the Lincoln Literacy Council.

Runza® Restaurants - famous for the Runza® Sandwich, with its delicious blend of ground beef, cabbage, onions and secret spices baked inside homemade bread; made-to-order burgers; and homemade onion rings - operates and franchises 68 restaurants in Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa and Kansas.
