The news around the COVID-19 outbreak is constantly changing, but information about food safety and how to keep yourself healthy is crucial right now. Here is a comprehensive list on the foods you should be stocking up on during this period of social distancing, as well as information about your local grocery stores’ changing hours, an explanation of “no-contact delivery,” and a guide on how to help your community and its businesses throughout closures.


KFC restaurants are now take-out only as well as offering free delivery with tamper-evident bags. To do its part in supporting communities during this time, KFC is shipping even more chicken products to its franchise locations free of charge.

KFC franchises employ more than 80,000 people across the United States. To help franchises continue to provide for their local communities, the company is sending chicken to locations across the country, whether those locations are donating to local hunger organizations, providing meals to those who are helping keep us safe, or feeding loyal customers in their area, QSR Magazine reports.

This isn't the first initiative put forth by KFC to help out their locations while addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. Different franchises are donating meals to healthcare personnel and other essential workers who are on the frontlines. KFC hopes that donating chicken free of charge to their restaurants will help them continue to do so.

In addition to this, KFC is offering free delivery through April 26 when you spend at least $12 on Seamless or GrubHub.
