Carl's Jr. Makes a Significant Contribution to Wildfire Relief

In a heartwarming initiative, Carl's Jr. concluded a successful fundraising campaign on March 15, 2025, which garnered over $100,000 for the American Red Cross. This effort was particularly aimed at supporting those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, showcasing the company’s commitment to its home community.

The campaign, which took place in Carl's Jr. locations from January 27 to March 15, encouraged customers to contribute $1 when making their purchases. Carl's Jr. pledged to match all donations up to $50,000, effectively doubling the impact of community contributions.

Blake Devillier, president of Carl's Jr., expressed the company’s deep-rooted connection to Los Angeles, stating, "Los Angeles is not just where Carl's Jr. started; it is our home and the heart of our brand. The wildfires have profoundly impacted our community, and we believe it is our responsibility to give back and support those in need. We are deeply grateful for the support from our guests and team members who participated in this campaign. Together, we have made a significant contribution to recovery efforts, demonstrating the true spirit of community."

The funds raised will directly support the American Red Cross in providing essential services such as shelter, meals, and financial assistance to wildfire victims. To date, the organization has already provided over 19,000 nights of shelter and served more than 163,000 meals and snacks to those affected by the fires.

Joel Sullivan, the regional CEO of the American Red Cross for Tennessee, commented, "The American Red Cross continues to be on the ground supporting those impacted by the devastating wildfires in California. We are immensely grateful to partners like Carl's Jr. and their customers, with whom we collaborate to bring relief and hope to affected communities."

Carl's Jr. holds strong to its community-oriented values and remains dedicated to ensuring those impacted by the wildfires receive the necessary assistance. This campaign isn’t just about the funds raised; it embodies the brand's commitment to social responsibility and community involvement.
