HOW DOES PLATE 4 PLATE WORK?

BURRITO OR BOWL PURCHASED

Every time someone purchases a burrito or bowl at any of our restaurants, Zambrero sends a nutritious meal to someone in remote, last-mile communities around the world via our distribution partner Rise Against Hunger.

MEAL PACKAGED

Meals donated by Zambrero are packed, stored and distributed by Rise Against Hunger around the globe, primarily through school feeding programs. Zambrero customers can also get involved to pack meals at Zambrero's annual Meal Packing Day.

MEAL PROVIDED TO SOMEONE IN NEED

Through established and vetted relationships with in-country partners, Rise Against Hunger meals are distributed securely to serve people facing food insecurity.

WHAT DOES HUNGER REALLY MEAN?

Our founder Dr. Sam Prince has used Zambrero as a vehicle to help end world hunger. By 'simply' serving the best burrito in town since 2005 we have been able to empower our customers, franchise partners and team members to help us make that difference everyday in the lives of communities that need it the most through the Zambrero Plate 4 Plate initiative. Watch this video to see the impact you can help us make.

WATCH OUR IMPACT IN ACTION ON THE 2023 VISION TRIPS

Our Zam Fam flew over to South Africa and the Philippines for a life changing experience seeing first-hand the impact of our Plate 4 Plate initiative and Rise Against Hunger partnership on the ground to visit these vulnerable communities facing food insecurity. We are so grateful for the work Rise Against Hunger is doing on the ground not only building school feeding programs but educating children, cultivating community gardens and chicken coops and building long term sustainable agricultural enablement programs.

WHAT DO PLATE 4 PLATE MEALS CONSIST OF?

Rise Against Hunger meals donated by Zambrero are a nutritious combination of rice, soy and dehydrated vegetables, fortified with a vitamin mix, specifically designed to supplement the diet of malnourished individuals. The meals have been created for easy transportation so they can reach remote areas anywhere in the world. All ingredients are rice-based so they suit the diets of most individuals as well as being vegetarian, culturally neutral and easily blended with locally available spices, vegetables and proteins.
