Leading Franchise Gives Back Amid National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week  

We Sell Restaurants, the nation's leading and only business broker franchise focused on restaurants, is feeding America with the launch of its “We Care – We Share” initiative to provide meals for those in need across the country.

In 2023 the brand made a significant contribution to Meals of Hope when 20,000 meals were packaged at its annual franchising conference. As a tremendous partner, Meals of Hope was the ideal fit to support the launch of the “We Care – We Share” charity initiative, which aims to be an annual effort.
