Morning, friends!
Did you know that on average, people eat out 10-20% less during the winter than any other time of year?
Between winter weather and the post-holiday pinch, restaurants need to get creative to make up that extra $$$ this time of year, and many food chains do that in a way that’s beneficial to everyone by offering freebies.
We all love a free snack or meal, but the best part about the freebies that we’ve rounded up today is that they’re for a charitable cause.
Turns out, January is one of the most popular times of the year to give, and even major food chains are feeling the giving spirit! 🥰
Check out our list of freebies below to score dinner & help out your community!
🍦 When it comes to sweet treats, Wendy’s has got us covered. Get a free Jr. Frosty with any purchase all year long when you buy a $3 Wendy’s Key Tag. Each purchase supports the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Eat ice cream, help kiddos. 💯
🍕 Pizza Hut is supporting literacy by encouraging students to read! All teachers can enroll their students in the Book It! program, which rewards kids with a free personal pizza when they reach their individual reading goal. Sign up for the 2024-2025 school year here.
🌯 If you or someone you know is food insecure, try eating at Freebirds World Burrito on Sundays. With a purchase of one adult entree, up to two children can eat for free. You can also get free chips & dip when you sign up for their rewards here.
