Join Nando’s for Mandela Day: Give a Little, Get a Tasty Reward

Nando’s Canada is inviting everyone to participate in a nationwide food drive this Mandela Day, offering complimentary flame-grilled chicken and fries in return for non-perishable food items. This event honours Nelson Mandela’s legacy and Nando’s South African roots.

Mandela Day is celebrated globally every year on July 18th, which is Mandela’s birthday. It’s a day when individuals and organizations are encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes to doing good in their communities. This “67 minutes” symbolizes the 67 years Nelson Mandela spent fighting for social justice, equality, and human rights. It’s a chance to make a real difference, just as he did.

On Thursday, July 18, 2025, from 11 AM to 1 PM local time, Nando’s PERi-PERi locations across Canada are hosting a special food drive. Simply bring at least one non-perishable food item, and you’ll receive a free ¼ Chicken and PERi-PERi Fries. It’s a simple way to contribute to local food banks and help those in need, all while enjoying some delicious Nando’s.

All Nando’s locations across Canada are participating, including those in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
