What is the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program?
Through our Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, many Chick-fil-A Operators fight food insecurity in their local communities by donating surplus food from their restaurants to local soup kitchens, shelters and nonprofits to feed those in need. To date, Chick-fil-A Operators have donated more than 30 million meals through the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program in the U.S. and Canada. These donations provide nutritious meals for those in need while also diverting waste from landfills.
How is the donated food used?
Restaurants participating in Chick-fil-A Shared Table can donate quality Chick-fil-A protein – like eggs, filets and nuggets – as well as surplus biscuits and prepped items like salads and fruit cups. Nonprofit partners transform donated Chick-fil-A food items into creative and delicious dishes. Examples include chicken and dumplings, chicken parmesan, tacos and enchiladas, fruit smoothies, waffle fry frittatas, ice cream cakes and more. See some examples in the digital cookbook, Extra Helpings: Inspiring Stories and Imaginative Recipes from Chick-fil-A Shared Table®.
Does every restaurant participate and if they don’t, what do they do with food waste?
Restaurants can opt in to participate and more than 2,200 restaurants are engaged in the program. Restaurants reduce food waste by utilizing a “cook less, more often” approach to eliminate the amount of food that goes unserved and by engaging in composting efforts. For more information on participation in your area, we encourage you to speak with your local Owner-Operator.
