15,600 Meals, 183 Schools, One Mission: Thank You, Teachers

ORGANIZATION: Underserved Schools Across the U.S.

DATE:

Recognizing the vital role teachers play in shaping future generations, Panda launched the Panda Cares for Our Teachers Program in 2020 to uplift educators in communities that often face resource challenges. Every May, we show heartfelt appreciation for the incredible educators and school staff in underserved communities across the U.S.

This year we supported 183 schools by donating over 15,600 meals including Panda Express favorites like Orange Chicken and Broccoli Beef. To all the educators out there: From inspiring young minds to creating safe and empowering learning environments, your work makes a difference every day. Thank you for all that you do! 🍎🐼

This nationwide effort would not be possible without the dedication and heart of our Panda Express operators and Panda Cares representatives. Their thoughtful planning, coordination, and hands-on support brought this program to life in communities across the country. Thank you for being the driving force behind this meaningful initiative.
