Canteen in the community

Canteen Cares Logo

As a company and a family, Canteen prides itself on being active members of the community. We strive to empower the communities where we live and work through our Canteen Cares initiative, whether it’s producing meal kits for remote school feeding, supplying food and water for disaster relief, or providing clean drinking water to communities around the world, and so much more.

Additionally, we focus on celebrating and supporting military veterans, as well as fighting for hunger relief with food recovery partnerships and innovations. We also encourage every local Canteen team to take part in their own initiatives, spreading our passion for involvement to communities, families, and individuals across the country.
