Denny’s is Doing This to Help Victims of Hurricane Florence

Dining giant Denny’s is doing its own part in the relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Florence.

The company has launched a Mobile Relief Diner truck that is 53-feet long and will be bringing free breakfast food to the Carolinas to help victims and first responders.

This isn’t the first time Denny’s has made such a move to help victims. In 2017 the mobile diner was sent to Texas and South Florida in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The company served more than 14,000 meals over the course of two weeks during these hurricanes.

“The initial concept of the Mobile Relief Diner was created to serve as a quick, but temporary solution that we could get on the road in a timely manner,” said John Dillion, chief marketing officer for Denny’s.

“After retiring our truck last fall, we immediately began planning on how to make a better — and permanent — version of the Mobile Relief Diner to help as many people as we can.”

Denny’s will be working with local officials, disaster relief organizations and franchisees to determine which areas are most in need of assistance.

The Mobile Relief Diner will set up operations in North Carolina this week and will begin serving free pancake breakfasts.
