Wendy’s® Partnership

Making a Life-Changing Difference Together Since 2003

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is honored to be Wendy’s charity of choice. For more than 20 years, the Foundation has had a special relationship with Wendy’s Restaurants of Canada built on a shared commitment to achieving our shared founder Dave Thomas’ vision that every child has a permanent home and a loving family.

Thank You for Your Support
