OUR COMMUNITIES ARE IMPORTANT TO US.
We want to be good neighbors. Just as we want to take care of every guest that dines with us, we want to take care of our neighbors who might need a little help. Here are a few of the causes we support:
DARDEN HARVEST
Yard House participates in the Darden Harvest program. Darden Harvest coordinates food donations to food banks and other charitable organizations across the country. Wholesome, surplus food that has not been served to guests is prepared, frozen and stored at Yard House, then picked up weekly by a qualified, non-profit agency and delivered to local food banks. The food stays local and has an immediate, positive impact on the community. Darden Harvest has donated more than 91 million pounds of surplus food to families in need since its inception in 2003.
THE DARDEN FOUNDATION
Yard House is dedicated to supporting the good works of our communities. Through the Darden Foundation, support is focused in areas where we believe we can make a deep and enduring impact. Working in partnership with our fellow Darden restaurant brands, team members, guests, and community partners, we are able to have a meaningful impact on the communities in which we live and work. Since 1995, the Darden Foundation has awarded more than $82 million in grants to organizations such as the American Red Cross, Feeding America, and the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
