100-plus Häagen-Dazs stores join GiftAMeal to fight hunger
December 2, 2025
More than 100 Häagen-Dazs shops across 22 states have joined forces with GiftAMeal, a platform that provides meal donations when customers take photos of their food. Every time a guest snaps a photo at a partner Häagen-Dazs location through GiftAMeal, a meal will be donated to a nearby food bank, according to a press release.
To participate, guests scan a QR code in-store and take a photo of their order to trigger a monetary donation funded by the shop. Each donation is made directly to a local food bank, where every "meal" represents 1.2 pounds of healthy groceries distributed to a family in need.
"This partnership is a natural extension of Häagen-Dazs' commitment to joy and community," Adam Hanson, president of Häagen-Dazs Shops said in the press release. "GiftAMeal makes it effortless for our shops to do good while driving guest engagement. It's a true win-win that strengthens our connection with customers and supports families in need."
"We're thrilled to welcome Häagen-Dazs Shops to the GiftAMeal family," Andrew Glantz, founder & CEO of GiftAMeal, added in the press release. "It's inspiring to see such an iconic brand mobilize its franchisees to fight hunger nationwide. Together, we can make the simple act of enjoying ice cream a way to uplift communities during the holidays and beyond."
