Chick-fil-A
Shared Table
More than 2,700 Chick-fil-A® restaurants participate in Chick-fil-A Shared Table®, a program for local Owner-Operators to donate surplus food to charitable organizations in their community.
How it works
At the end of each day (except Sundays), participating Chick-fil-A® restaurants prepare and package their surplus food for donation to local organizations to help reduce hunger and food waste.
- Chick-fil-A® restaurants connect with local nonprofits and organizations, like soup kitchens, senior centers and after-school programs.
- Chick-fil-A Team Members regularly package unused food, such as chicken and produce.
- Participating nonprofits and organizations pick up the packaged food.
- These recipe-ready ingredients are transformed into new meals – like chicken parmesan, stir-frys and breakfast casseroles – and served to those in need.

Our commitment to serving others
The Chick-fil-A Shared Table program is just one part of our commitment to support local communities we serve . Inspired by our founder’s belief that “a good company is a caring company,” we prioritize several initiatives that provide support to our neighbors, communities and the planet we share.
“Chick-fil-A Shared Table® is part of a larger vision that we share with our community to help people in need. Our Team Members get really involved – they know our food is going to help others instead of being thrown away, and they embrace that opportunity to give back.”
