DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new partnership between local Food Banks and El Pollo Loco Restaurants in the DFW area to feed children that are food insecure. — El Pollo Loco DFW
What is it? The El Pollo Loco Kids Meal Club is a partnership between North Texas Food Bank, Tarrant Area Food Bank and El Pollo Loco to bring hot meals to local children through a club card. The cards are only distributed through the foodbank’s partners in local schools to children who receive National School Lunch Program (NSLP) benefits in the area around the restaurants.
How Does it work? The holder of the Kids Meal Club card can come into any DFW area El Pollo Loco once per week and present the card for a kid’s meal. There is no charge for the meal and the card holder can choose between any of the offered kid’s meals.
