On Friday August 11th, 2023, KFC announced an extraordinary partnership that embodies the values of sustainability, compassion, and community that the restaurant holds dear.”
In an era where the global challenges of food waste and hunger have become increasingly pressing, it is our privilege to introduce a collaboration that aims to make a tangible difference. KFC Harvest is proud to announce our partnership with Chances: No Waste. No Hunger. Drive. KFC’s Harvest program is a global initiative developed over 20 years ago to fight world hunger, starting in the communities we serve.
E-Commerce and Marketing Assistant Darren stated that “KFC started its’ prepared food donations (now known as Harvest) in 1999 to feed individuals in need and to end hunger. So many people around the world face unexpected challenges, however, KFC believes that hunger should never be one of them. With that KFC Dominica decided to come on board in June of 2021 to donate unsold food to home agencies like;
Grotto home for the homeless and today, Chances; Children’s Home for the Abandoned, abused, Neglected, Cheated and emotionally scarred.”
Marketing Specialist Marsha Augustine shared that “This partnership is more than a collaboration; it’s a commitment to effecting real change. Together with Chances, we will work tirelessly to minimize food waste while maximizing efforts to alleviate hunger within our communities. Our shared vision is rooted in the belief that no edible food should go to waste, and no individual should go to bed hungry.’
Through this initiative, KFC Harvest will implement innovative strategies to reduce food waste across our operations, from sourcing to preparation. Excess food will find its way to those who need it most, thanks to Chances well-established distribution and support to the children whom they have the honor to provide guardianship to.
