Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Chick-fil-A® restaurants are helping fight international hunger — with cookies.
One day a year, the chain’s popular phrase “Eat More Chicken,” takes a sweet turn to “Eat More Cookies.” Participating Chick-fil-A stores will donate all proceeds from chocolate chunk cookie sales to A Child’s Hope International, a Cincinnati-based charity supporting orphans and vulnerable children locally and internationally.
“Your purchase of a single cookie provides four high-protein meals, two-and-half gallons of clean water or a Challenge Pack with medical and food supplies,” said Larry Bergeron, founder and executive director of A Child’s Hope International. “There are 143 million orphans in the world. They all need life’s essentials, hope and a home. Through this special one-day campaign, our goal is to raise orphan awareness and raise funds to help them.”
“The Chick-fil-A Cookies for Orphans is in its fifth year. Our local owners want to make a big impact in the fight against hunger,” said Doug Peters, local owner/operator of Chick-fil-A Springdale.
“Thanks to the generosity of those who purchased cookies over the last four years, we have supplied nearly 250,000 high protein meals and 75,000 gallons of clean drinking water,” Peters said. “We hope the community will join us again this year to help us reach our goal to support at least 200 orphans for an entire year with high protein foods, clean drinking water and life giving hope.”
Cookies are available individually or in trays which can be pre-ordered by calling your neighborhood Chick-fil-A restaurant.
