Committed to giving back to communities in which its brand operates, KFC Nassau brought cheer to the start of the Bahamas National Feeding Network’s (BNFN) new year with a sizable donation in support of its commitment to combat the epidemic of hunger in The Bahamas by supporting those in need of essential food resources.

On January 13th the franchise made the generous donation of over $13,000 to the Bahamas National Feeding Network, which reflects the brand’s support in making a difference in the lives of many children and families facing hunger daily in the community and by increasing the access to nutritious food supply to those in need.

“It was fitting to start the new year off with such a charge as the number of people at immediate risk of hunger continue to rise in The Bahamas and that’s why rendering support to charitable organizations like the Bahamas National Feeding Network are so important to us,” said Kerry Wong, Director of Operations for Restaurants (Bahamas) Ltd - KFC Nassau’s franchise holder. “The organization’s tireless efforts to get nutritious meals into the hands of those in need makes a tremendous impact to many Bahamians, and we are happy to support their mission and charitable efforts with this donation.”

  “We are very grateful for the generosity of KFC Nassau,” said Felix Stubbs, Chairman, Bahamas National Feeding Network. “It is only because of donations from corporate partners, individuals and the general public at large that the efforts of the BNFN can ease the burden of those who feed the less fortunate and are often all that stands between them and hunger. KFC’s generous contribution will assist in the yearlong plight of providing food items to those in great need.”

With the critical and increased demand for hunger relief and the rise of food prices in The Bahamas, organizations like the Bahamas National Feeding Network work year-round to fulfill its commitment to help eliminate hunger, and companies like KFC Nassau fill an acute need for organizations to achieve their on-going commitment to providing hunger relief as the lack of food resources is faced all year. KFC Nassau is keen on giving back to the community and plays a pivotal role in further enhancing the communities in which they operate.

"At KFC Nassau, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work, we are grateful to support the good work of organizations that support Bahamians in need and look forward to further supporting other local charities within the Bahamas that focus on providing hunger relief." Wong concluded.

KFC Nassau has been a staple in the New Providence community since 1967, and currently has eight KFC restaurants throughout New Providence. Visit the company’s website, www.kfcnassau.com, or on Facebook, www.facebook.com/kfcnassau.
