KFC will give free food from its restaurants to people facing hunger as part of a scheme to help those in need. The national roll out comes after a successful trial at 20 restaurants.
The fast food chain is joining forces with charity FareShare to help give out the equivalent of more than four million meals throughout the year, reports Wales Online. It is hoped that 2,000 charities and community groups will be able to collect from their local KFC branch as part of the partnership.
Lindsay Boswell, chief executive at FareShare, said: “We believe no good food should go to waste which is why we’re so excited to be partnering with KFC. This partnership marks the first time we will be offering frozen poultry products to local communities using the FareShare Go app, complimenting the fresh fruit and veg, and bakery items typically received."
