You can feel good about enjoying a burger from Hello Harry stores, with $1 from all burger sales directed to Young Veterans.
Franchise owners Scott and Jacinta McClellan said each of the 11 national Hello Harry The Burger Joint franchises had the option of choosing their favourite charity to support and Young Veterans was their standout.
“Young Veterans do amazing work within our local community offering support for Veterans (young and old) as well as their families,” Scott said.
“They offer welfare services, and family-inclusive social events to ensure veterans suffering PTSD and other injuries do not isolate themselves within our community.”

“We held a really successful Fat Bastard burger challenge recently with funds raised directed towards Young Veterans and the response was overwhelming.
“Both Jacinta and I have a strong affinity with this important charity and we didn’t hesitate when the opportunity came to support them again.
“International Burger Day is an event we like to celebrate each year and adding a fundraising element enables the whole community to support a great cause while enjoying a high quality burger,” Scott said.
