Zambrero has reached a new major milestone as part of its Plate 4 Plate social mission, distributing over 70 million meals to help end world hunger.
According to the company, Plate 4 Plate has created a “global movement” to end hunger. It mobilises Australians and the globe to give back, with every burrito, bowl, retail item or kids Zam Box purchased at Zambrero restaurants around the world resulting in a meal provided to someone in need.
Zambrero has Plate 4 Plate counters in each restaurant so customers can see their purchase immediately provide impact.
“Alongside our not-for-profit partners Rise Against Hunger, Love Mercy and Foodbank as well as our loyal Zambrero customers and volunteers, we will continue working towards our goal of donating a billion meals to those in need,” says Zambrero CEO Matthew Kenny.
“Our humanitarian mission is a core part of our business, and we’re immensely proud of what we’ve achieved with our latest milestone.”
The milestone comes as Zambrero gets ready for its annual Plate 4 Plate Day in mid-October, where meal packing events will be held across Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, the Gold Coast and Adelaide. There’s a goal to “smash” last year’s record of packing over 430,000 meals in one day.
“Zambrero’s relentless efforts have helped millions of people facing food insecurity, which in the current environment has never been more critical,” says Rise Against Hunger CEO Rick Kearney.
“Having already delivered one of the most impactful social missions of any fast-food restaurant in Australia with last year’s Plate 4 Plate Day, we’re not only proud of what’s been achieved so far, but are looking forward to continued impact through the initiative.”
