KFC employees at its <span class=\"xn-location\">Louisville, Ky.<\/span> headquarters volunteer weekly to provide and physically package more than 300 meals for local students to take home for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The generous donations from KFC could not have come at a better time, as these communities have been particularly hard-hit this year with rising food costs, inflation and various natural disasters,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Erin Kerr<\/span>, CEO, Blessings in a Backpack. &#8220;Because of KFC&#8217;s support, we&#8217;re able to spread holiday cheer by donating meals for hunger-free weekends and meet each community&#8217;s needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its ongoing partnership with Blessings in a Backpack, KFC restaurants in the U.S. have donated food for over 20 years through Harvest, KFC&#8217;s prepared food donation program. Since 1999, KFC restaurants have donated 87+ million pounds of unsold food to 3,500 local community organizations that feed individuals in need.<\/p>\n<p>KFC\u00a0are also bringing the Sharemobile concept to life in markets across the country through local food donations and other holiday giveback moments.
