Chipotle Mexican Grill demonstrated its commitment to community service when it partnered with Northern Illinois Food Bank on June 3, 2004, for National Hunger Awareness Day. Chipotle's Whole Lotta Love Promotion was held throughout the Chicagoland area, and 12 Chipotle Mexican Grills in NIFB's service area participated in the day-long event. Chipotle managers and staff at all locations made the day truly special for everyone. The event fostered the kind of spirit and camaraderie that can make changes in our community.

The Whole Lotta Love Promotion encouraged people to bring a minimum $5 donation or two cans of food to their local Chipotle in exchange for a free burrito. One hundred percent of their donations were given to the Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of Chipotle and its customers, 9,204 pounds of food were collected and customers donated $19,152. In addition, Chipotle generously contributed a corporate match of $12,500. In just one day, Chipotle's efforts brought Northern Illinois Food Bank a total of $31,652.
