Birdcall, an elevated quick-service restaurant known for all-natural chicken, sandwiches, and salads, will commemorate over $74,000 contributed to local organizations over its first year of “Birdcall Presents,” its innovative Limited-Time Offer (LTO) chicken sandwich program featuring new crafted recipes every month.
In May 2023, Birdcall launched the “Triple Threat,” its first “Birdcall Presents” LTO, and a series of initiatives across its locations in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to community enrichment with $1 from every sandwich sold donated to a local charity or non-profit organization.
Birdcall Presents, the monthly limited-time chicken sandwich program, offers uniquely crafted flavor profiles accompanied by a philanthropic endeavor each month. Donations made through Birdcall Presents are a component of Birdcall’s 1% Program, which includes other community support endeavors such as meal donations, support for local environmental initiatives, and more for hyperlocal non-profit organizations.
“We draw inspiration from diverse flavors and seasonally inspired ingredients to create crave-worthy sandwiches that also serve a greater purpose in supporting our local communities,” says Amador Acosta, vice president of culinary and innovation at Birdcall. “It’s a privilege to couple our chicken sandwiches with meaning and to contribute to causes close to our hearts.”
Since kicking off the “Birdcall Presents” program one year ago, “The Tikka Masala,” “Bees Knees,” “Great Bambino,” “Spicy Szechuan” in collaboration with Chef Penelope Wong, and many other chicken sandwiches have debuted, benefitting local organizations, including:

Birdcall looks forward to continuing its mission of community support in the coming years, with plans for further expansion, impactful fundraisers, and innovative menu offerings. As the restaurant chain grows, it remains dedicated to providing exceptional dining experiences while giving back and making a difference in the communities it serves.
