Chick-fil-A Packs Two Million Meals for Convoy To Distribute
Chick-fil-A is famous for their sandwiches, but their desire to feed the hungry took center stage this week.
The fast-food giant teamed up with Convoy of Hope and U.S. Hunger on February 5 by organizing a meal-packing event during their annual conference in Orlando, Florida. Thousands of Chick-fil-A owner-operators and corporate staff attendees volunteered to pack 2 million meals in less than two hours.
โThis incredible undertaking reflects Chick-fil-Aโs genuine commitment to giving back and serving others,โ said Daniel Burns, Convoy of Hopeโs senior director of Corporate Relations. โHunger and food insecurity are critical issues in the U.S. and beyond, and we applaud Chick-fil-A for their proactive efforts to improve the livelihood of others throughout the communities they serve.โ
One million of the meals packed will be distributed during Convoyโs responses to disasters to help provide immediate relief to survivors. The other million meals will help combat food insecurity in underserved communities throughout the United States.
โOne of Chick-fil-Aโs core values is โWeโre here to serve,โโ said Convoy of Hope National Spokesperson Ethan Forhetz. โItโs inspiring to watch companies like Chick-fil-A serve the hungry and those in poverty, and weโre honored to work with them this week to do just that.โ
