Our mission is to help end world hunger through our Plate 4 Plate initiative.
Every time you buy burrito or bowl at Zambrero, we donate a meal to someone in need.
With the help of our customers, we have donated millions of meals through our partner Rise Against Hunger who brings these Plate 4 Plate donations to life.
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 every day in the lives of communities that need it the most through our Plate 4 Plate initiative. Watch this video to see the impact you can help us make.
The impact achieved by our Plate 4 Plate initiative wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of our distribution partners, Rise Against Hunger and Love Mercy.
We are proud to call Rise Against Hunger our international hunger relief partner. They direct our Plate 4 Plate meals globally to communities in need, where many do not have access to adequate nutrition. The meals are donated primarily through school feeding programs, so not only are children receiving a meal they are in school receiving an education too.
We are also proud to contribute to Love Mercy's 'Cents for Seeds' programme: an agricultural micro-loan project which seeks to empower women in the remote communities of northern Uganda through access to resources to provide for their families. Cents for Seeds offers women the opportunity to thrive independently by earning an income, which then turns into food, clean water education, and health care.
Our Annual Zambrero x Rise Against Hunger Vision trips are a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Plate 4 Plate initiative first-hand. We work closely with our charity partner, Rise Against Hunger, to share the incredible work that is done by their team and the impact of Zambrero's meal donations.
In 2024 we travelled to Kenya where we visited the various schools and projects run by the Rise Against Hunger team in partnership with a local NGO in Kenya. These trips are attended by Zambrero's Annual Conference Award winners and the Rise Against Hunger team.
On Plate 4 Plate Day we call on our Zam Fam & Friends to help pack hundreds of thousands of meals! Our meal packing events are held annually in October with locations around Australia as well as Ireland and the United Kingdom. We also double our meal donations, extending the reach of Plate 4 Plate Day to every Zambrero restaurant around the world.
