Sweetgreen, announces the launch of the Sweetgreen Impact Outpost Fund. The fund -- the first of its kind for the fast-casual company - was created in partnership with World Central Kitchen (WCK), the international not-for-profit organization founded by chef José Andrés that uses the power of food to heal and strengthen communities in times of crisis.

Through the fund, corporations, sponsors and customers are able to join sweetgreen and WCK’s efforts to feed more front-line medical personnel working in hospitals

"To be able to help share not just nourishing meals with the tireless and brave medical professionals working on the front lines of this crisis, but also the hope, dignity, comfort and care that a delicious and fresh bowl of food represents is an honor, and we are proud to partner with sweetgreen on this mission," said Nate Mook, CEO of World Central Kitchen.

100% of the money raised will be dedicated to providing free sweetgreen meals to hospital workers, expanding the program's reach. In the midst of the current crisis, sweetgreen dedicated their Outpost operations and teams to support those on the front lines by creating Impact Outpost, a program that delivers free salads and grain bowls to hospital workers. To date, sweetgreen has delivered over 10,000 meals to hospitals across the country and together with World Central Kitchen they have a goal of serving over 100,000.

“We’re so grateful for the hospital workers and medical personnel who are putting others before themselves during this critical time,”
