Zambrero to give 100,000 meals to Nicaraguan children
As part of their Plate 4 Plate fundraising day.
Zambrero will be holding its annual major fundraising campaign this coming 4 September 2013, to help provide meals to children in need.
Dr. Sam Prince, founder of Zambrero, started the Plate 4 Plate campaign back in 2005, and since then has provided over one million meals to those who are living in poverty around the globe.
This year’s Plate 4 Plate Day will see a partnership with Stop Hunger Now and ORPHANetwork to help provide 100,000 meals to orphans in Nicaragua.
Franchise partners will be donating $2 for every burrito or bowl purchased on the fundraising day, where all 31 stores of the brand will be participating.
“Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America. Forty-two per cent of the population live below the poverty line[1], child homelessness and abandonment are major issues, and the World Bank[2] estimates that between eight to 12 per cent of all children in Nicaragua live or work on the streets.
“A donation of 100,000 meals will mean 2500 children will receive a meal everyday for 40 days and it’s something we hope our customers will feel proud of,” said Prince.
