# Action Against Hunger says thank you to the UK restaurant industry - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/11/27/action-against-hunger-says-thank-you-to-the-uk-restaurant-industry/ - Published: 2014-11-27T09:20:00+00:00 - Author: Howard Lake **Staff at Action Against Hunger have dedicated a day to say thank you to the many restaurants, chefs and food retailers who have donated to and supported the charity.** Its **Love Food Give Food** campaign during September and October saw hundreds of restaurants adding a discretionary £1 donation to table bills or a small donation from a popular dish. The charity’s staff have telephoned supporters, written to them, emailed them, communicated via Twitter and Facebook, and they’ve recorded videos thanking both individual restaurants and whole industries such as Indian restaurants and Michelin-starred restaurants. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

In a summary video Emma Cullingford, Head of Food Related Fundraising at [Action Against Hunger](http://www.actionagainsthunger.org.uk) says: > “We’re here today to say a special thank you to an industry that is close to our > hearts, one that loves food as much as we do, and gives through that love of food”. The campaign video concludes with a message that “no money was spent on making this… Just a lot of love & free time!”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adArj8gtMKA It also encourages viewers to explore the many individual thank you videos posted to the [charity’s YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjHiHDJ1erIBvq5CTldRHZg).
