Arby's and Share Our Strength's Purposefull Campaign

Purposeful is the campaign collaborating with Share Our Strength, a non-profit organization that feeds children in America, and Arby's. On every purchase they make from Arby's customers, they are encouraged to donate, even the donation of 1 dollar. That $1 can provide food for 10 meals.
