The Experiential and Elevated Chicken Sandwich Brand initiated philanthropic efforts in 2023 to its Arizona, Colorado and Texas Communities
DENVER, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elevated QSR chicken sandwich, salad, and tender restaurant Birdcall shares the success of its 2023 restaurant openings, fundraisers and limited-time offers in its continued commitment to community support. Throughout 2023, Birdcall launched various initiatives to serve local communities across its locations in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. These initiatives garnered a successful end to the year's goal to give back to the community via Birdcall's 1% program, focusing on hyperlocal non-profit organizations, especially those focused on family, food security and community support. By investing in these areas, Birdcall strives to make a lasting difference and contribute to the well-being of the communities they serve.

New Birdcall locations in Frisco, Texas, and both Phoenix and Gilbert, Ariz., collectively donated upwards of $25,000 to local organizations. Contributions went to Frisco Family Services, a non-profit organization that aims to support and assist families facing hardship in the Frisco community, Desert Mission Food Bank, a non-profit dedicated to addressing food insecurity in the surrounding areas of Phoenix, and Winged Hope, a Gilbert-based non-profit offering support and resources to survivors of domestic violence and their families. Donations were distributed upon opening week of each location, driving awareness toward each cause.
