First Watch, the University Park-based chain with more than 290 restaurants in 26 states, will donate 10 cents to No Kid Hungry for every pumpkin pancake breakfast sold during the month of September. The pumpkin pancake breakfast has proven to be the restaurant's most popular fall menu item. The fundraiser is a supplement to the 25 cents First Watch contributes to No Kid Hungry from every kid’s meal sold year-round. No Kid Hungry works to end childhood hunger by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast and that families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget.
