Freebirds Is Stuffing More Than Burritos This Summer: Back-to-School Supply Drive is Underway

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Freebirds World Burrito is inviting guests to help local students head back to class fully stocked and ready to learn through its annual Back-to-School Supply Drive, taking place at all Freebirds restaurants now through Friday, August 7.

Guests can drop off new, unused school supplies at their favorite Freebirds location, and every donation will go directly to a local school in that restaurant's community.

As a thank you for helping fill backpacks, guests who donate can choose one of the following freebies on the day of their donation:

• One Free Regular-Sized Chips & Dip
• One Free Dessert of their choice

When the drive wraps up, Freebirds teams will deliver collected supplies to nearby schools, helping students and teachers start the year with the classroom essentials they need to succeed.

"A few notebooks, some pencils, a backpack here and there, it all adds up," said Thomas Lane, Vice President of Operations for Freebirds World Burrito. "We're excited to see our guests come together to help local students head back to class with the supplies they need. This drive reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting local communities and creating meaningful impact beyond our restaurant walls."

Suggested donations include:

• Notebooks
• Folders
• Crayons and markers
• Pencils and pens
• Glue sticks
• Scissors
• Highlighters
• Backpacks
• Other new classroom essentials

The supply drive is just one way that Freebirds supports local schools and educators. Teachers receive 10% off their order year-round with a valid school ID, and many Freebirds restaurants partner with schools through Spirit Night fundraisers, and sponsored catering programs throughout the year.

Community members can visit any Freebirds location between now and August 7 to donate school supplies and help local classrooms start the school year ready to learn.
