Local Chick-fil-A Restaurants to Feed the Hungry with New App

Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Monday, June 13th, 2016

Local Chick-fil-A restaurants are teaming up with Golden Harvest Food Bank for launch of their new Chick-fil-A One app and mobile ordering system. Between June 13th and July 31st, every mobile order placed on the new app for pick up at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants yields a $1 donation to Golden Harvest Food Bank.
 
Golden Harvest, which feeds the hungry in 30 counties in Georgia and South Carolina, will certainly feel the impact of the donations that come from Chick-fil-A’s mobile ordering system. “For every $1 donated, we’re able to turn that into $9 of distributed food,” says Travis McNeal, Executive Director of Golden Harvest Food Bank, “So every time you place a mobile order at Chick-fil-A, and we get that $1, you’re feeding the hungry right here in our community. The impact is immediate.”
 
Six local Chick-fil-A locations are participating: in North Augusta on Knox Road, in Aiken on E Gate Drive, in Evans on Washington Road, and in Augusta at Augusta Exchange on Robert C. Daniel Jr., Pkwy, Peach Orchard Road, and Washington Road at I-20. To place a mobile order, download the free Chick-fil-A One app and follow the ordering instructions. The app is designed to give customers more choices to better meet their needs, including the ability to customize their meal, order and pay in advance and skip the line at the register, speeding up the process of waiting at the counter or drive-thru.
 
"Chick-fil-A has a long-standing history of investing in the local community and giving back,” says Jon Dawkins, Owner/Operator of the North Augusta Chick-fil- A. “We appreciate that Golden Harvest shares that same commitment to the CSRA and we are proud to partner with them. I believe our customers will exceed expectations in support of this campaign."
