At Desert de Oro Foods (DDO), we build more than great restaurants, we’re committed to building brighter futures, too! This year, we’re proud to celebrate four incredible team members who have been awarded scholarships through the KFC Foundation.

These scholarships don’t just represent financial support, but an investment in dreams. We’re thrilled to have a front row seat to these career journeys!

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

“It’s very exciting to help these team members further their education with help from the KFC Foundation,” says KFC Regional Director, Greg Jackson.

“We want to encourage personal growth in our teams,” he shares. “Our goal is ‘start Here, stay here.’”

To honor this achievement, DDO hosted celebrations across multiple locations in early April. Each event brought together Area Coaches, friends and recipients’ families to recognize our winners in a meaningful way. From in-store celebrations to KFC swag bags, every moment reflected just how proud we are of these individuals and their accomplishments.
