Trussville Chick-fil-a Hosts Hurricane Fundraiser Today

TRUSSVILLE, AL - Chick-fil-A restaurants in Trussville and Parkway East are hosting a fundraiser on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with all of the profits to benefit Chick-fil-A Chambers Town Center team members affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Trussville franchisee Mark Nichols has a personal stake in the Hurricane Harvey disaster, as his son Brad opened the Chick-fil-A Chambers Town Center in the Houston area two years ago, and now has the opportunity to give back to his community and staff as they recover from the damages caused by Hurricane Harvey.

“Brad’s community is in Baytown, Texas and was devastated as 4-foot deep water surrounded this small town and destroyed many of his team member’s homes, cars and all their possessions,” Nichols said. “His team, although many of them displaced themselves, have been coming back to work this week to help donate Chick-fil-A food to the surrounding shelters.”
