"And we know today that education is still the surest path to opportunity." Here's to changing lives for the better, together. 🤝 #KFCFoundation #KFC #WGU 🍟 #FriesChangeLives

Since 2015, the KFC Family Fund has assisted more than 750 restaurant employees through difficult times with over $1.3 million in financial aid. ❤️ One of those employees was Restaurant General Manager, Jana. Jana was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and had to undergo surgery this past January. The KFC Family Fund was able to provide $4,000 to help Jana and her family during her time off recovering. This wasn't the only time the KFC Foundation was able to help Jana. Back in 2020, her son was a victim of a drive-by shooting, getting shot in the leg while walking home from his job. This kept him off his feet for months and unable to provide additional income for their household expenses. The KFC Foundation was able to step in and provide over $3,000 to help with Jana’s mortgage payments 🏡. Know a KFC restaurant employee needing assistance? 👉 Point them to kfcfoundation.org today!
