Social enterprise Mealshare has partnered with A&W Canada to help end youth hunger.
For every Mealshare Item purchased at an A&W location, one simple healthy meal will be provided to a youth in need.
With 1,000 locations across the country participating, including restaurants across BC, the partnership aims to share 1,250,000 meals per year, provided through Mealshare’s network of 450 local charity partners across Canada.
80 per cent of Mealshare’s financial support stays in local communities where the Mealshare Item was purchased, and 20 per cent goes internationally to Save the Children.
Here's how it works: A&W customers visiting on ‘Mealshare Mondays’ can order a Cheddar Bacon Uncle Burger Combo and one meal will be provided to a youth in need. On any day of the week, customers can “Make it a Mealshare” by adding $1 to their order, which will also provide a meal to a youth in need.
Participate in-restaurant, through drive-thru, or by using the mobile app.
“A&W is an amazing organization and a leader in the industry through its many environmental and social initiatives,” says Jeremy Bryant, Co-Founder of Mealshare. “The support of A&W restaurants will make a huge impact for Mealshare and all the youth we support across the entire country."
Says Susan Senecal, Chief Executive Officer at A&W Canada, “No child should ever go hungry, especially in a country like Canada, so we’re thrilled that we can be a part of this initiative.”
