IHOP restaurants have two campaigns going to support worthy causes:
>> Through Sept. 25, donate to No Kid Hungry at an IHOP or through IHOP.com.
>> Through October, IHOP’s Hawaii restaurants celebrate a decade in the state by collecting donations for Special Olympics Hawaii. Donate at IHOP’s three Oahu locations, or on Hawaii island in Hilo or Kona.
