KFC is to give free food from restaurants to people who need it after joining forces with FareShare to help deliver the equivalent of more than four million meals throughout the year. The national rollout of the programme comes after a successful trial in 20 diners where community groups have received the equivalent of more than 27,500 meals.
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.
“With the current cost of living crisis affecting millions of people already struggling to make ends meet, this food is needed now more than ever and we anticipate that, through this partnership, more than 2,000 charities and community groups will be able to collect from their local KFC restaurant.”
