FYI,

Chipotle Reading Rewards are special bookmarks that include FREE Kid’s Meal cards (for grades K-5) or Buy-One/Get-One FREE entrée cards (for grades 6+).

Chipotle supports organizations in a variety of ways, including in-restaurant fundraisers for non-profit organizations and our Scrip program. Our Reading Rewards program is exclusively focused on assisting literacy programs hosted by:

·         Libraries

·         Schools

·         Home School Co-Ops

If your organization falls into one of these groups and meets the following guidelines, please submit an online application. Due to the large number of requests we receive, we cannot honor all of them. If your request is approved, we will contact you soon.

Here’s the link to apply: http://community.chipotle.com/reading.
