Community
At LongHorn, we don’t just talk the talk. We’re proud of what we do, and it shows - in our restaurants and in our communities. Sure, doing things the right way may not always be the easiest way, but it’s worth it. Every time.
HELPING IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER
In America, 34 million people may not know where they will get their next meal. LongHorn Steakhouse is committed to supporting the communities we serve in the fight against hunger. Since 2008, our restaurants have participated in our Harvest program, donating high-quality, wholesome food to local nonprofit partners. We’re also long-term partners with Feeding America®, and over the last five years, the Darden Foundation, the charitable arm of our parent company, has donated more than $16 million on behalf of our family of restaurants to support food banks across all 50 states.
As part of our ongoing efforts to fight hunger, LongHorn Steakhouse has partnered with Feeding America to enhance mobile food pantry programs in communities where food insecurity rates are disproportionately high. Through grants from the Darden Foundation and additional support from Darden’s partners, Penske Truck Leasing and Lineage Logistics, 35 Feeding America food banks in 35 different parts of the country have received a 26-foot refrigerated box truck to help increase access to nutritious food for those who need it most.
By the numbers:
- Nearly 28 million pounds of food donated since 2008
- 35 trucks provided to 35 Feeding America food banks
- 12,000 pounds of food can be transported at a time
- $6.5 million donated through the Darden Foundation to help add mobile food pantries and support Feeding America’s network of food banks
As a member of the Darden family of restaurants, LongHorn is dedicated to serving the community and supports Darden's culture of giving back in the areas we love. We wouldn't be here without you.
