“At Big Chicken, we believe in the power of community and the joy that comes from spreading kindness along with big fun," Steve Christensen, co-owner of Big Chicken in Gilbert, said in a release. "This holiday season, we are proud to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley to host a toy collection drive and help spread holiday cheer with deserving youth in our community,"
Christensen said the giveback initiative is also a way for the franchise to honor O’Neal, who has a long-standing relationship with the Boys & Girls Club of America as the national spokesperson for the organization.
The restaurant, located at 366 N. Gilbert Road, suite 106, Gilbert, is open from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. each day.
