May 5, 2023

Representatives from several South Florida Hooters locations delivered books and meals to Holtz Children’s Hospital on April 24. Miss Hooters International Madison Novo who works at Hialeah Hooters, Heather Widle who works at Weston Hooters and Daniell Parks who works at Coral Way Hooters delivered the donation of books and meals.

As part of their Hootie’s Lending Library initiative the restaurant partners with local organizations to provide books for kids. Each month a group of employees deliver additional books to restock the rolling library for the children during their time at the hospital. The group also delivered meals prepared by the Coral Way Hooters location consisting of boneless wings, salad and desserts with notes of thanks to show their appreciation for the hospital staff.

Several of the South Florida Hooters restaurants are partnering with Holtz Children’s Hospital, Jackson North Medical Center, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Salah Foundation Broward Health Children’s Hospitals with custom Hooters library carts for Hootie’s Lending Library” in the Pediatric ER. Each rolling library cart is filled with books for children of all ages. Launched in 2022 the Hootie’s Lending Library has provided 3,300 books to the local hospitals.

“Our employees enjoy partnering with our local children’s hospitals year round. We created the Hootie’s Lending Library program to provide books for the kids to read when they are at the hospital and every month we are always adding hundreds of new books to each hospital's selection. It is a priority to be a community partner and give back where there is a need. Our kitchen staff, Hooters Girls and managers enjoy the opportunity to prepare the meals for the hospital staff and deliver the books,” said South Florida Hooters Director of Marketing Kristi Quarles. South Florida Hooters restaurants have taken part in local hospital visits for many years by providing food, arts and crafts, books and sponsoring events.
