World Hunger Relief Results

For the past two years the "World Hunger Relief” campaign has leveraged the power of more than 36,000 restaurants around the world, sparking a global movement to end hunger and generated an overwhelming outpouring of support from millions of customers, employees, franchisees and their families.

As a result of our campaign, Yum! and its brands - KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's and A&W All-American Food - raised maximum awareness through TV, print, public-service announcements, public relations, web-based communications and in-restaurant posters and signage around the world.

In the past three years, more than 1.4 million employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than 15 million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has raised nearly $60 million for the World Food Programme (WFP) and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 250 million meals and save the lives of millions of people in remote corners of the world.
