PLATE 4 PLATE DAY

Our Plate 4 Plate Day is full of our Feel Good Mex vibes! 

It is held annually in every state around Australia in October around World Food Day and this will be Ireland's second year holding a meal packing day on Plate 4 Plate Day. 

It's also a big day for the Zam Fam. On Plate 4 Plate Day we call on our entire Zam Fam, fans and partners to volunteer to help pack hundreds of thousands of meals in each state across the country!

We also double meal donations in every restaurant for participating orders on the day which include a (big or regular) burrito and bowl. 

WHAT IS PLATE 4 PLATE

Plate 4 Plate is why we do what we do. It’s what gets us up and rollin’. Every time a customer buys a regular or big burrito, bowl a meal is donated to someone in the need around the world through our Plate 4 Plate Initiative.

The meals donated are distributed by Rise Against Hunger around the globe, primarily through early childhood development feeding programs and via our partnership with LoveMercy to Women in Uganda. In Australia, meals are distributed locally through our partner, Foodbank.

These meal packs contain a nutritious combination of rice, soy and dehydrated vegetables, fortified with a vitamin mix, specifically designed to supplement the diet of malnourished individuals. Each meal contains 20 vitamins and minerals. These meals not only provide nourishment, but also support education, skills training, and health services that support the difficult journey out of poverty.

Our distribution partner is Rise Against Hunger. They direct our Plate 4 Plate meals to communities within hunger pockets designated “serious” or higher on the Global Hunger Index. A large percentage of these donated meals are distributed through school feeding programs to support children’s nutritional needs and education.
