Charity

On 12^th October, KFC and its parent company Yum! will unite once again to celebrate World Hunger Relief Week 2009.

Yum!’s partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme will aim to raise awareness of hunger as an issue and mobilise staff, franchisees and customers to help do something about it. From 12^th to 18^th October, employees from more than 720 KFC restaurants in the UK will be arranging a number of fundraising activities in store, from sponsored silences to KFC car washes.

Last year, KFC UK raised more than £365,000 which helped fund a school food project in Africa. Yum!’s global efforts spurred unprecedented global awareness, including four million volunteer hours and $20 million in overall donations. This year, with your help, we hope to beat this target!
