The heart of what we do is care for KFC restaurant employees across the U.S.
About us
The KFC® family has a rich history of generosity inspired by Colonel Harland Sanders himself. It started with a hitchhiker who happened to be a college student. The Colonel gave him a ride and a full scholarship. That act of kindness inspired the KFC Foundation, which has since provided $31 million to more than 9,300 students and KFC restaurant employees across the United States, assisting them in going to college, earning a GED, making it through a hardship/crisis situations and giving back to their communities in a big way.

Through Harvest, KFC restaurants have turned surplus food into sustenance for 25 years, providing over 92 million meals to 4,300+ non-profits nationwide. 🍗🍟 Together, we’re fighting hunger, reducing food waste, and serving hope to communities in need. 🧡 Interested in joining the fight against hunger? Franchisees and hunger relief non-profits can contact the Harvest Support Center at 800-831-8161 to get involved. #KFCFoundation #HarvestProgram #FightingHunger #NoWasteNoHunger

Last week our team got to surprise the Kentucky Humane Society with their $10,000 Kentucky Fried Wishes grant! The grant will be used for their Women Warriors program which will connect women veterans, women first responders, and female family members of veterans, with rescue horses. Star of the celebration was definitely Walter, a cutie patootie kitty who has moderate Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which makes him just a bit wobbly. 😻

💙 National Day of Community Service 💙 Today, we’re celebrating Team C750165 in Eugene, Oregon, who remind us of the power of giving back! Led by RGM Shantel Fixsen, they have been the top Round Up fundraising team for two years in a row! 🤩 In July, the team presented a $10,000 Kentucky Fried Wishes grant to Sleep in Heavenly Peace (Eugene Chapter) during the organization’s annual Build Day and even rolled up their sleeves to help build beds for children in need! 🛏️ “Being part of something bigger that allows us to give back to our community motivates us,” Shantel shared. “We’ve been lucky enough to present two different $10,000 grants to charities in our community.” On this National Day of Community Service, we’re inspired by all those making a difference in their communities. Thank you, Team C750165, for showing us what it means to serve. 💪 #NationalDayOfCommunityService #KFCFoundation #CommunityImpact #RoundUp
