Over the last 7 years, a local Chick-fil-A restaurant has donated more than 46,000 meals to “Waste Not Want Not.” It’s part of the “Chick-fil-A Shared Table Program” in which local restaurants donate surplus food to area nonprofits.

To celebrate and future the charity’s mission, Chick-fil-A surprised the nonprofit on Friday with a check for $100,000.

There are no restrictions on the donation, and “Waste Not Want Not” says for every dollar they receive, they can provide fifteen pounds of food.

The Chick-fil-A Shared Table Program meanwhile has donated 23,000,000 meals throughout the U.S. and Canada since 2012.
