“By providing three meals a day to anyone in need, Faith Kitchen is changing lives in profound ways. Because of this grant, the organization will be able to continue making a lasting difference for individuals experiencing homelessness in San Antonio for years to come.”

Committed to caring

S. Truett Cathy founded Chick-fil-A with a simple but powerful idea: “a great company is a caring company.” Every day, thousands of local Chick-fil-A Owner-Operators, Team Members and staff live out this ideal in meaningful ways, creating impactful change in their local neighborhoods throughout North America and beyond.
