National Praline Day 2018

Pralines for a cause!

Thank you for joining us June 24th to celebrate the sweetest day of the year, National Praline Day! In honor of our favorite holiday, we donated 10% of praline sales made that day to the Feeding America program "Kids Cafe". Our efforts on National Praline Day provided over 19,000 meals to at-risk children and we are so excited to continue those efforts to end childhood hunger each year. Kids Cafe is a nationally recognized program that originated in Savannah in 1989.

On June 18, monetary donations were acccepted in all of our retail locations. Find a store near you

Participation online was wonderful as well! With 10% of online praline sales donated to Kids Cafe from June 22-24.

This event was made even sweeter because our entire family of brands is joined us in the effort too! Stop by any Savannah's Candy Kitchen or River Street Sweets • Savannah's Candy Kitchen Franchise locations and web sites as well!

Why this means so much to us…

over 19,000 meals for kids at risk of hunger

19,000 Meals in 2018 & 17,000 in 2017!
Now that's sweet!

With your generosity, we were able to donate 10% of praline sales on designated days which raised enough funds for the Kids Cafe program of Feeding America to provide over 19,000 meals in 2018. They not only provide meals to children at risk for hunger, but also provide tutoring and a safe haven after school.
