In a heartwarming celebration of World Kindness Day, KFC, the globally renowned fast-food chain, demonstrated the profound impact of small acts of kindness through its Harvest Programme. On November 13, KFC staff and volunteers gathered at the Chef Sharaz Culinary Academy in Trinidad and Tobago to prepare and distribute 1,000 nourishing meals to vulnerable individuals and families. This initiative, aligned with this year’s global theme ‘Kindness for Change,’ underscores KFC’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in communities. Guided by the message ‘Harvesting Hope,’ the Harvest Programme transforms surplus food from KFC kitchens into meals for those in need, with the support of dedicated NGO partners. Trisha Baksh, Brand Lead at Prestige Holdings Limited, the local franchise holder of KFC, emphasized that kindness is integral to the company’s identity. ‘Our Harvest Programme embodies the belief that food has the power to unite, uplift, and inspire change,’ she said. Teddy Kim, from KFC’s partner organisation, International Youth Fellowship, shared his personal connection to the initiative, stating, ‘Being part of the Harvest Programme allows me to fulfil my purpose of serving the youth.’ Since its inception, the programme has donated over 768,000 meals to disadvantaged communities, reflecting KFC’s dedication to compassionate practices. This World Kindness Day, KFC encourages everyone to embrace simple yet impactful acts of kindness, whether through sharing food, offering time, or lending a helping hand.
