National lettuce shortage may impact select menu offerings
Oct 15, 2020
Due to industry wide challenges with lettuce supply, certain menu items, including salads, may be prepared differently or unavailable for the time being. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The True Inspiration Awards™ program was created in 2015 to honor the legacy of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy. Since then, more than $7.1 million has been granted to nonprofits doing amazing things in their communities. This year, Chick-fil-A committed to award $5 million in True Inspiration Awards grants to qualifying nonprofits that are either Black-led or serving primarily Black communities or other communities of color. Applications for the 2021 True Inspiration Awards program closed on September 25, 2020.
