Half of the sales for the day will go to the United Way Hurricane Florence Recovery Fund, which will help "local United Ways meet storm-related needs and support mid- to long-term recovery throughout the affected regions."  

"Our communities – including our employees and our customers – across North Carolina are dealing with the destruction of Florence, and we want to do what we can to help rebuild. Since the storm hit, we've fed volunteers, worked with our local suppliers to donate food, and made sure our employees were compensated even when restaurants were closed. Being part of the community means taking care of each other, and we hope to do just that by raising funds for the United Way Hurricane Florence Recovery Fund," said Brian Niccol, Chipotle CEO in an earlier statement.

Chipotle also donated 1,500 burritos to feed first responders earlier this month, as well as a cash donation to the Red Cross for efforts.
