Giving Back
Our definition of service extends beyond the four walls of our restaurants and into the communities we serve. Darden, together with the Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation, works to bring this spirit of service to life by fighting hunger, investing in future generations, helping in times of need and making a difference in our hometown.
Since 1995, the Darden Foundation has donated more than $120 million to charitable organizations that support the communities we serve. Read our 2026 Impact Report.
