HAPPENING NOW!!!
There is something special about seeing a well-known brand like Chick-fil-A making its way into our community! We are excited to share that Chick-fil-A is now serving right here in St. Helena Parish, bringing with it not only its signature meals, but also a reputation for excellent customer service and community engagement.
We welcome Chick-fil-A to St. Helena Parish as an Additional Distribution Point (ADP) and look forward to the positive impact they will have as they serve our families, support our school initiatives, and become a part of the fabric of our community. Be sure to stop by and show them a warm St. Helena welcome!
