Social Responsibility
Denny’s Mobile Relief Diner
Driven by our brand purpose, Denny’s Mobile Relief Diner is a 53-foot mobile kitchen that allows us to do what we do best, feeding those in need in the wake of natural disasters and emergencies.
With each deployment, the Denny’s Mobile Relief Diner travels to local communities devastated by fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and more to offer a free, freshly-cooked pancake breakfast, including bacon, coffee and drinks, to local residents, first responders and others, offering a small piece of comfort when they really need it the most.

Learn MoreEnding Childhood Hunger Across America
The team members at Denny’s love to feed people, so it is hard for them to imagine kids not getting enough food each day. So, Denny’s partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry program to make ending childhood hunger one of their main philanthropic causes. Every September, Denny’s locations across America participate in Share Our Strength’s Dine Out For No Kid Hungry™, a national fundraising event that brings together thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers to help make sure that no child in America grows up hungry.
