Caring for our communities
Our Community
Inspiring better lives by giving back to the communities we serve.
At Panda Restaurant Group, our commitment to giving back is the cornerstone of our legacy. Inspired by values instilled by our founders, we strive to create positive, lasting change. Our philanthropic efforts focus on:
-
Health
Providing access to essential healthcare for underserved youth and communities in need.
-
Education
Fostering opportunity by equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed.
By fostering a culture of compassion and responsibility, we aim to unlock possibilities and create new pathways for growth, paving the way for a brighter future for generations to come.
Our Initiatives
Our commitment to giving back takes shape in three key ways:
Panda Cares
Panda Cares is the philanthropic arm of Panda Restaurant Group, powered by the generous contributions of our guests and associates, dedicated to serving the health and education needs of underserved youth. Since its inception, Panda Cares has raised over $415 million and impacted millions of lives through its Centers of Hope and other initiatives.
Panda CommUnity Fund
In 2021, Panda Express established the Panda CommUnity Fund — a five-year, $10 million community investment and response program that supports immediate and sustainable solutions from national and local organizations to build a more respectful and just society for tomorrow, for our communities, and for our culture.
Panda Charitable Family Foundation
Panda Charitable Family Foundation (PCFF) strives to create measurable and long-term impact in communities through health and education. Andrew and Peggy Cherng, the co-Founders and co-CEOs of Panda Express®, established PCFF as their family foundation.
