~ Sir Winston Churchill
Fundamental to El Pollo Loco's mission is an underlying pledge to give back to the communities we serve. We do this through El Pollo Loco Charities, a non-profit 501(c) charity created and powered by volunteer employees of El Pollo Loco to positively impact people in the neighborhoods and communities served by our restaurants.
El Pollo Loco Charities primarily serve non-profit organizations, like
After-School All-Stars, that are dedicated to the health, education and well being of children in our local communities.
We believe that giving back to those we serve strengthens our neighborhoods and communities. You can join us in this important effort by contributing to the canisters at the front counter in our restaurants. Together, we can make a difference.
If you are interested in inviting El Pollo Loco to support an upcoming charitable event, fill out our
