OUR ONGOING HUNGER PROGRAM
by Power of One Foundation and ONOLB Foundation
We feed about 1000 families a month with our Hunger Program focused on food recovery.
In an inspiring collaboration, the Power of One Foundation and ONOLB Foundation have joined forces to combat food waste and hunger in the most impactful way possible. Through their innovative food recovery program, these organizations are making a profound difference in the lives of over 1000 individuals each month. By partnering with esteemed food chains, such as Olive Garden, Chipotle test kitchen, McDonald’s, Chick-Fil-A, Fleming Prime Steak House, Pizza Hut, Krispy Kreme's Donuts, and HMS International, the program is combats food insecurity through food rescue while promoting sustainability and community well-being.
At the heart of this program lies the commitment to reducing food waste from restaurants and redirecting it to those in need. Each partner restaurant plays a vital role by contributing surplus, wholesome meals that might otherwise go to waste. The Power of One Foundation and ONOLB Foundation have strategically designed a seamless process that ensures the efficient collection and redistribution of surplus food.
Olive Garden, with its renowned Italian cuisine, embraces this noble cause by contributing its delicious dishes, while Chipotle test kitchen's innovative and flavorful creations find their way to those who truly appreciate them. The iconic golden arches of McDonald’s shine even brighter as their Costa Mesa South Bristol and Costa Mesa Harbor Blvd locations participate in this program, lending a hand to their local community.
Chick-Fil-A, synonymous with quality and service, extends its reach to Westminster and Costa Mesa, channeling its generosity to those experiencing food insecurity. Fleming Prime Steak House in Anaheim adds a touch of luxury to the program, sharing prime cuts to nourish those in need. Pizza Hut's delectable pizzas become a symbol of hope and sustenance, while Krispy Kreme’s Donuts brings a sprinkle of sweetness to brighten lives.
HMS International, with its varied eateries at John Wayne Airport, stands as a testament to the wide-reaching impact of this collaboration. As travelers and locals alike enjoy their meals, they contribute to a cycle of giving that touches lives far beyond the airport gates.
Together, these food chain partners exemplify the power of collaboration and the profound impact it can have on communities. Through the dedication of the Power of One Foundation and ONOLB Foundation, along with the generosity of these esteemed restaurants, more than 1000 individuals are blessed with nutritious meals each month. Beyond the immediate nourishment, this program fosters a sense of unity, compassion, and hope, reminding us that small actions can lead to significant change. As the aroma of freshly prepared meals fills the air and smiles light up faces, the Power of One Foundation and ONOLB Foundation are proving that a simple meal can be a catalyst for transforming lives and building a brighter future for all.
