Two Weeks Remain in Chick-fil-A Mobile Ordering Campaign with Golden Harvest Food Bank
Friday, July 15th, 2016
Two weeks remain the mobile ordering campaign by Chick-fil-A to feed the hungry with Golden Harvest Food Bank. $1 of each mobile order placed on the Chick-fil-A One App through July 30th will be donated to the 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.”
The campaign began on June 13th, and is going well so far. “If the last two weeks go as well as the rest of the campaign has, we’ll be on track to hit our goal,” says Ashley Gutierrez Siler, Executive and Marketing Manager at Golden Harvest Food Bank. “I’m glad to see the community getting involved in the campaign and generating donations for us while also making the lunch rush a little less stressful.”
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."
