BATON ROUGE, LA — As delays in federal nutrition assistance programs continue to affect families across the state, Chicken Salad Chick has stepped forward to provide free kids’ meals at all Louisiana locations until Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits resume.
Helping Families Affected by the Shutdown
With the recent government shutdown causing disruptions in SNAP distributions, thousands of families are struggling to maintain consistent access to food. In response, Chicken Salad Chick is offering complimentary meals for children, emphasizing community care during uncertain times.
“This effort isn’t about politics — it’s about people,” said Mya Fox, General Manager at Chicken Salad Chick. “We believe no child should go hungry, especially when circumstances are beyond their control.”
No Purchase or Eligibility Requirements
Under this temporary initiative, families can receive up to five kids’ meals per visit, with no purchase required. The offer is available for dine-in customers and aims to relieve immediate food insecurity concerns while government programs are restored.
Available Across Louisiana
The company confirmed that all Louisiana Chicken Salad Chick restaurants are participating. Locations outside the state may offer local variations of food support based on community needs.
With more than 300 locations nationwide, Chicken Salad Chick has been known for its family-friendly atmosphere and community outreach programs. The initiative reinforces its ongoing mission to give back in times of need.
Duration of the Offer
The free meal program will continue until SNAP benefits are reinstated. Participating restaurants will share updates through local media and official channels as conditions evolve.
