Outback's
Commitment:

Supporting our troops and their families has been our longstanding commitment at Outback Steakhouse. What began as a grassroots initiative in Tampa, Florida, when Outback Steakhouse was founded nearly 22 years ago, has since grown into an international effort.  In 2002, Outback launched "Operation Feeding Freedom," sending a team of volunteer employees to Afghanistan to feed American troops. Since then, Outback has made a total of 7 trips to the Middle East and brought over 150,000 troops a much needed taste of home. Earlier this year, Outback invited its guests to order off its "Red, White & Bloomin'" Menu and donated $1 Million to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization providing everyday and emergency support for active troops, wounded warriors and their families.  For everyone at Outback, it is an honor serving those who serve us so  selflessly every day.  For more information about Outback's commitment, please visit www.outback.com/troops.

Donations Welcomed To Support The Troops:

Outback customers can donate $5 directly to Operation Homefront by texting "TROOPS" to 90999 through the end of November.  (Standard Message Rates Apply)
