MEAL PACKING EVENTS

On Thursday 17 October 2024, 1,400+ volunteers across Australia came together to pack over 428,000 meals for those in need. Our Zam Fam team members, franchise partners, suppliers and customers gave their time, helping us achieve our goal at our meal packing events nationally. Thank you for joining us!

IN ALL RESTAURANTS

We also doubled donations in all restaurants. This means that customers who simply ate with us on the day contributed to our Plate 4 Plate Initiative. On Thursday, 17 October 2024, we doubled donations to Plate 4 Plate for every burrito, bowl or Kids Zam Box purchased in restaurant or online. Thanks for helping us end world hunger!

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.

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, Kids Zam Box or retail item 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.
