SAN DIEGO DENNY'S RESTAURANTS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH VVSD

MAY 21, 2011 - In celebration of Armed Forces Day, San Diego area Denny's restaurants today will kick off a summer-long campaign benefitting the annual San Diego Stand Down event. As a part of an ongoing partnership with the Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD), 39 participating restaurants will serve as drop-off points for diners to deliver much-needed supplies and funds to help military veterans in need.

Beginning May 21st through July 7th, diners may come by any of the participating San Diego area Denny's to drop-off clothes, blankets and hygiene products, which will go toward the Stand Down, a VVSD program designed to help San Diego homeless veterans combat life on the street.

"Denny's is delighted to work with the VVSD and show our support for the veterans of San Diego," said Ben Bagnas, a franchisee who operates two San Diego Denny's restaurants. "Stand Down is just the start of a worthwhile partnership and a great way to kick off a summer filled with events and initiatives."

"We are grateful for Denny's participation and ongoing efforts in supporting our military veterans," said VVSD's President and CEO, Phil Landis. "As citizens of this great country, we must do all we can to support our veterans. In our partnership with Denny's, we'll be better able to assist our veterans in need."

Last year, provisions collected prior to Stand Down served more than 900 homeless veterans and their families. The annual, three-day event takes place July 15th through July 17th and provides medical services, counseling, legal services, warm meals and more for the military veterans of greater San Diego County.
