From November 16 to 20, 2026, Culver's will donate $1 from every Concrete Mixer sold at participating restaurants to local hunger relief efforts. The initiative, part of Concretes for a Cause, has raised more than $2.3 million for food banks since launching in 2020.
Why it matters
Nearly 48 million people in the United States experience food insecurity, and the campaign directs customer purchases toward local nonprofits in communities where participating restaurants operate. Each restaurant supports a local nonprofit, so the funds stay within the communities that generate them.
Culver's has raised more than $2.3 million since 2020, including more than $573,000 in 2025, through a $1-per-Concrete-Mixer donation. Nearly 1,100 participating restaurants in 26 states will contribute to the 2026 campaign, though its total has not yet been reported.
The players
Culver's
Culver's is a Wisconsin-founded fast-food restaurant chain known for its ButterBurgers and frozen custard Concretes.
The details
During the five-day window, guests can order any Concrete Mixer at a participating Culver's restaurant, and $1 from each sale supports a local nonprofit tied to that restaurant. Concretes for a Cause is part of Culver's Give Local commitment.
Timeline
2020: Concretes for a Cause launched.
2025: The program raised more than $573,000.
November 16-20, 2026: Donations apply to each Concrete Mixer sold.
Roadmap
Concretes for a Cause is one of Culver's Give Local commitment initiatives, which channel restaurant sales into community nonprofits. The campaign's cumulative total of more than $2.3 million since 2020 shows how a single menu item can sustain an ongoing hunger relief effort.
Customers who order any Concrete Mixer at a participating Culver's during November 16-20, 2026, will contribute $1 per item to local hunger relief. The donation does not change the menu price, so participation requires no extra cost beyond the purchase itself.
The takeaway
Small, repeated purchases can add up to meaningful support for local food banks when a restaurant commits to directing sales toward community needs. Customers who want to participate can simply order a Concrete Mixer during the campaign week.
What happens next
Culver's will run the $1-per-Concrete-Mixer donation from November 16 to 20, 2026, at participating restaurants.
