Press Release
Just ahead of World Food Day on October 16, VIVA Chicken proudly announces a major milestone with raising over $150,000 in donations for their ongoing philanthropy partner, No Kid Hungry, and introduces a fall menu inspired by the warmth of traditional Peruvian queso set to launch October 18th.
“Since kicking our partnership off in 2020, we've donated $0.50 from every churro sale across all our restaurants to No Kid Hungry to combat childhood hunger. For every dollar donated, 10 meals are given to children in need,” said VIVA Chicken CEO, Gerald Pulsinelli. “We hope that through our upcoming World Food Day tradition of increasing our ongoing donations to give 100% of churro sales, we can keep making a difference in the communities we serve.”
“We are so proud and grateful for Viva Chicken's generous support of No Kid Hungry's mission to ensure every child in America has access to the nutritious food they need to grow up happy, healthy and strong. Viva Chicken's generous $150,000 donation will help provide 1.5 million meals to kids facing hunger,” said Kate Searby, Senior Manager of Corporate Partnerships for No Kid Hungry.
VIVA Chicken recently transformed their popular churros into bite-sized Mini-Churros with the same cinnamon and dulce de leche flavors guests know and love. For every order, VIVA will continue to donate a portion of the proceeds to No Kid Hungry.
Starting October 18th, the new Mini Churros are joined by:
- Warm Huancaina Queso (add to any order for $1.75): VIVA's made in-house Peruvian Cheese sauce served HOT. Made daily featuring blended queso fresco, aji pepper, smoked gouda, then finished with roasted red pepper and onion
- Yuca Fries and Warm Huancaina Queso ($6.75): Thick-cut yuca fries served with NEW warm Huancaina Queso for dipping
- Chicken Cheesesteak ($13.25): Off-the-bone rotisserie chicken caramelized peppers and onions, melted provolone cheese and warm Huancaina Queso on a toasted roll or sundried tomato wrap
- Autumn Apple Salad ($12.95): Greens tossed with roasted butternut squash, fall apples, crumbled feta, sliced almonds, fresh avocado, and tossed in an apple citrus vinaigrette, topped with fresh rotisserie chicken
