WICHITA, Kan. – Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers® announced today that the brand will be participating in a month-long giveback with its new national charity partner, Folds of Honor. From Nov. 1 through Nov. 30, guests will have the option to give back to Folds of Honor by rounding up to the nearest dollar in-restaurant or selecting a $1, $3, $5 or $10 donation when ordering in-app or online.
“We feel thrilled to be partnering with Freddy’s, a brand that truly values supporting veterans and their families nationwide,” said Ben Leslie, Chief Impact Officer with Folds of Honor. “The funds raised throughout this month will go toward providing the children of military members with scholarships and other educational support.”

We’re genuinely inspired every day by the mission of Folds of Honor and are pleased to be able to support them through our partnership.”
