We believe in giving back to the communities in which we work and live, making a positive difference in the lives of our customers and associates and their families. We provide financial support to charities across the world, and our more than 1 million associates systemwide, as well as our franchisees, give to their local communities everyday - through meals, monetary donations and personal time. We know that as individuals and as a system we can make this world a better place.

As a global food company, we believe that we can make the greatest contribution and impact by making food accessible to the less fortunate in the world. We are in the business of feeding people - whether it's the six billion customers who visit our restaurants each year or those we feed through community hunger relief initiatives. We also give back with programs that focus on college scholarships, reading incentives and mentoring at-risk teens.
