Hunger Relief

No child should grow up wondering where their next meal comes from. Through our national partnership with No Kid Hungry, we help close the gap between kids and the food they need to thrive.

The Challenge We're Taking On

Millions of children in the U.S. face hunger, and a hungry child can't learn, grow, or thrive. As a restaurant brand built around feeding people, we believe we have both the reach and the responsibility to be part of the solution — in every community we serve.

How We Help

Three ways the Foundation turns generosity into meals.

Guest Round-Ups

Guests round up their order at the register, turning spare change into millions of meals each year.

Direct Grants

We fund No Kid Hungry and local food banks that get meals to kids during school, summer, and crises.

Team Volunteering

Restaurant crews and corporate teams volunteer at meal-packing events across the country.

National Partner

No Kid Hungry

No Kid Hungry is a national campaign working to end childhood hunger in America. Every dollar we raise together can help provide up to 10 meals for kids in need.

Our partnership connects the everyday generosity of our guests with a proven network that gets food where it's needed most.

Why We Started

Our Story

Why We Started

"Feeding people is what we do every day. Making sure no child goes hungry in the communities we serve is simply an extension of that commitment."

Darin Harris

CEO, Jack in the Box

The Foundation was built on the belief that a restaurant brand with roots in hundreds of communities has a responsibility — and an opportunity — to fight hunger where it lives. That conviction drives every partnership, every campaign, and every dollar we raise.
