Impacting the Community
Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated about C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to Second Harvest to support local hunger-relief organizations. Second Harvest is one of Canada’s largest food rescue organizations and helps reduce the environmental impact of food waste by redistributing surplus food from across the supply chain to non-profits throughout the country.
These three new restaurants will also be participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from participating Chick-fil-A restaurants to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks, and non-profits to help feed those in need.
To date, more than 35 million meals have been created using Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from 2,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout Canada and the U.S.
