World Hunger Relief: Your contribution matters.

KFC’s parent company, YUM is committed to assisting the millions of people starving around the world.

From 1 September – 30 September 2012, YUM continues their UN World Food Programme partnership with the launch of their fifth consecutive World Hunger Relief (WHR) campaign.

In 2011 funds raised by KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants contributed to the World Food Programme’s school meals in Bhutan, Indonesia and Laos.

Thanks to your generosity, Australia has raised over $3 million since 2007. Internationally, YUM has raised over US$115 million and provided more than 460 million meals to those in urgent need of food assistance.

What’s our WHR target this year? Here in Australia, we’re aiming to raise $1 million for the World Food Programme.

To achieve our goal, we need your help!

Show your support by making a donation at your local KFC store or purchase a torch keyring, wristband or a pen to help fight world hunger.

Thanks in advance for helping us fight the battle against hunger.
