Miami-area local Owner-Operators unite for greater impact, achieving 100% participation in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, donating surplus food to local nonprofits
In recognition of Hunger Action Month this September, Miami-area Chick-fil-A® restaurants are coming together to help address food insecurity, an issue affecting one in six people in the area, including one in five children, according to Feeding South Florida.
As of August 2026, all 38 locally owned and operated Chick-fil-A restaurants in South Florida are now actively participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food, including protein-rich items like filets, nuggets and eggs, from restaurants to local nonprofit organizations and food banks. Community partners then transform those donations into dishes like chicken and dumplings, chicken parmesan, chicken tacos and enchiladas for neighbors in need.
“Each of our restaurants is focused on caring for the people in the communities we serve, and when we come together, we can make an even greater impact. Knowing that food from our restaurants is being put to good use and helping nourish our neighbors makes this program especially meaningful.”
-Michelle Bieschke, local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Pembroke Pines
