Raising Cane’s Collecting School Supplies for Students in Need

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers (www.raisingcanes.com) is collecting new and packaged school supplies at their Lincoln and Grand Island locations. Through August 6, individuals will receive a free 22oz freshly squeezed lemonade when school supplies are donated in support of the cause. Additional support can also be given by adding any dollar amount to your ticket when ordering. The supplies and money raised will be donated to local private and public PK-12 school students in need.

The Lincoln Raising Cane’s franchise is partnering with KLKN’s Channel 8 and Latsch’s for its 9th year. Since 2009 thousands of school supplies and over $24,000 have been donated to local schools. “We believe education is the foundation of the community. It’s through education that our children are able to achieve their full potential in life, and it’s important that every child is given the opportunity to succeed.” says Jennifer Jones, Co-Owner of the franchise.

The Lincoln and Grand Island franchise—Southern Hospitality Ventures—was opened in 2006 by Justin and Jennifer Jones, who moved to Nebraska from Louisiana. Since opening their first location, they have set out to make a change in their community by becoming active community leaders with programs such as this one. Since 2006, the franchise has given back over $1.4 million to the communities in which their restaurants are located.
