KFC Asks Consumers To ‘Fill Up For Good’ This Holiday Season
Brand Partners with Feeding America to Help Provide up to One Million Meals for those Struggling with Hunger
The holidays are a time to be grateful and to give back and that’s just what KFC plans to do with the launch of its #FillUpForGood campaign. Teaming up with Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, KFC invites consumers to help KFC reach its goal to fundone million meals to those in need this holiday season.
Feeding America works directly with major manufacturers, retailers, and other partners across the country to secure safe,nourishing food that would otherwise go to waste. For every 50 cents received, the Feeding America network of food bankscan help provide five meals through food pantries and meal programs across America.
Supporting KFC’s #FillUpForGood Campaign is easy. All consumers need to do to help KFC reach its one million meal donation goal is post a picture of a KFC $5 Fill Upsâ„¢ meal (no purchase necessary) on social media (Twitter, Instagram or Facebook) with the hashtag #FillUpForGood. For each social post or repost that includes a $5 Fill Ups meal photo and #FillUpForGood hashtag, KFC will donate 50 cents to Feeding America (equal to five meals) for those struggling with hunger across the country. KFC will donate up to $100,000.
