Donation protected



Established September 14th, 2022-HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! 1 YEAR
Hello and welcome Friends, Family, Patrons, and Community Members!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about Chicken Crossing and how you can help us to revolutionize the fast-food industry. In short, we are looking to raise $60,000 to foster and grow our current location, which needs some tender loving care.
The Funds will be used for the following:
• Continuing and Expanding our "Take A Meal / Leave A Meal" program to feed community members in need.
• Building a winterized patio area for the cold months
• Adding an electric grid to the site so we are no longer reliant on generator power
• Working with partners to offer our house-made plant-based sauces & condiments for retail sale
• Paying off our high-interest loan & maxed out credit cards
• Maintaining the ability to provide quality, sustainable, and environmentally conscious ingredients through partnerships with our local purveyors

Chicken Crossing’s Mission:
We started Chicken Crossing with the idea of changing the way people think about the food they eat and how it affects our environment and lives. Fast-food chains have garnered significant criticism for their adverse impacts on both the environment and public health. From an environmental perspective, these chains contribute to deforestation, as they are often linked to the expansion of livestock and agriculture for meat production. This results in increased greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and pollution from agricultural runoff. Additionally, the excessive packaging and single-use plastics associated with fast-food items contribute to plastic waste in our oceans and landfills. In terms of health, fast-food offerings are typically high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium, leading to a rise in obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Their convenient and inexpensive nature also encourages overconsumption and unhealthy eating habits. Collectively, the environmental and health impacts of fast-food chains underscore the need for more sustainable and health-conscious alternatives.
Our goal is for Chicken Crossing to continue to stand out as a beacon of positive change in the fast-food industry. With our innovative, primarily plant-based menu, that just so happens to offer the flagship chicken sandwiches that kicked it all off, our establishment not only addresses the environmental and health concerns associated with traditional fast food but also caters to the growing demand for sustainable dining options. By offering delicious plant-based alternatives, Chicken Crossing significantly reduces its carbon footprint and fosters a healthier community. Moreover, our “Leave A Meal” program, which allows patrons to purchase a meal for those in need, exemplifies our commitment to social responsibility, contributing to the local welfare of our community members, while fostering a sense of unity. In a landscape dominated by conventional fast-food chains, Chicken Crossing strives to serve as an inspiring alternative that demonstrates how business can be a force for positive change on multiple fronts.
Being vocal about saving the environment has always been part of our character. We want to be a part of saving this planet for future generations to enjoy. We at Chicken Crossing are here to disrupt the fast-food industry and prove there is a better way of sourcing, creating, and selling fast food, and believe we will with your help.
Thank you immensely for your continued support,
--Chef Seth & the entire Chicken Crossing Family
