“I love being a part of the KFC Foundation because it makes such a big difference in the lives of restaurant teams. Whether it’s education, financial support in times of crisis or building skills around saving money, each program can have such a huge life-changing impact.”
“The program I am most excited about is MyChange with SaverLife. This is something that can benefit all employees and can change their lives. Learning to save money is a skill that can make someone's life easier and more successful.”
“I joined the KFC Foundation's Board Of Directors because I love what the Foundation stands for and is doing to help and uplift the most important people in our business: our team.”

“What excites me for the future of the KFC Foundation? Knowing that we have the opportunity to change lives for thousands more KFC restaurant employees. KFC restaurant teams are incredible and we have the privilege of being there for them wherever they are on life’s journey.”
“When I started with the Foundation over 11 years ago, we had one program. Today, we have five programs! The work we do as a Foundation is like no other, and the impact we make on team members is tremendous. I’m looking forward to continuing growing as a Foundation, improving our programs and celebrating more team members as they become their best selves!”
“I love getting to work with the restaurant employees for personal and professional development. How cool is it to become part of someone’s life story? To hear someone say ‘the KFC Foundation helped me during a time of need in my life’ and knowing you were part of that – there is no better feeling.”
“I love working for the KFC Foundation because everyone involved is wholly focused on our mission—to take care of restaurant employees—and we’re continually striving to help team members grow, achieve and thrive. It’s such a great feeling to be part of an organization that is genuinely heart-led and does everything possible to impact as many people as possible.”
