Ribbon cuttings are just the beginning of a new Arby’s restaurant’s involvement in its community – especially when it comes to helping local kids pursue their dreams.

Following the grand opening of a company-owned Arby’s restaurant, the Arby’s Foundation donates the purchase price of every kids’ meal sold in the first month to a local elementary school. Schools use this money to purchase much-needed equipment, oftentimes technology, to enhance students’ learning.

Over the last year, the Arby’s Foundations has donated tens of thousands of dollars in conjunction with the Give Back Program, just one of the many ways Arby’s gives back to the communities it serves.
