Sharing Buckets of Love With Finger-Lickin' Goodness

Make the season bright and savor the joy of giving with KFC'S BUCKETS OF LOVE, a campaign to raise awareness and generate funds for conflict and disaster-affected areas in the country. Not only does KFC serve good dishes, but also moments that are just 'so good.'

Echoing the idea that hunger is not an issue of charity but rather of justice, KFC Philippines bolsters its longtime partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) through the said campaign. This year, KFC has pledged to donate 5.00 from every 8-pc. bucket meal and Php 1.00 from every 1-pc Crispy Butter Chicken sold from November until January of next year. Proceeds will be used to support WFP's efforts in rebuilding communities affected by Typhoon Yolanda while continuously supporting feeding programs in conflict-affected areas in Central Mindanao. Customers may also share their blessings through coin canisters found in KFC counters.

The organizers shared to us the story of Norhana. She used to go to school with an empty stomach and no packed lunch prior to the school feeding program. During lunchtime, she would rather give her share of food to her siblings and just wait for afternoon classes to begin. But thanks to KFC and the WFP, Norhana now receives a meal in school to help her perform better in class. Not only can we enjoy KFC's signature dishes, but also help in improving the quality of life of children and communities who will benefit from the Buckets of Love campaign. It tested that even small gestures can make a big difference.

General Manager for KFC Philippines Liza Leah Calma-Junio shared that "Beyond the so good experiences that we provide our loyal fans through innovative products and one-of-a-kind opportunities, we also make it a point to pay it forward by extending assistance to communities that need our support. KFC is a company that values sharing and likewise Filipinos are people who love giving. Buckets of Love gives them the channel to share what they have with those who need it most."
