“Catering to Our Community” Program Kicks Off with Multi-City Catering Deliveries to Treat Those Serving the Community
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orchestrating a catering delivery unlike any other, Corner Bakery Cafe will deploy catering vans across the country today and deliver food to community volunteers in action, kicking off “Catering to Our Community,” a month-long nationwide initiative showing thanks to America’s charitable workers and volunteers.
“We’ve always been a place for family and friends to gather and today, we’re increasingly seeing more of our neighbors in need,” said Jim Vinz, President and Chief Operating Officer, Corner Bakery Cafe. “We want to recognize those who are unselfishly giving of their time to support and strengthen our communities, especially in these challenging times.”
From March 12 to April 12, Corner Bakery is encouraging its guests and neighbors to visit www.CateringToOurCommunity.com to enter the Catering to Our Community Contest for the chance to win a complimentary catered breakfast or lunch for their favorite charitable organization.
More than 100 non-profit organizations, one per participating cafe, will be randomly selected and winners will be announced during National Volunteer Appreciation Week, the week of April 19.
Nearly 35 volunteer organizations across the nation will participate in today’s program kick-off, with recipients ranging from The Women’s Center in Fort Worth, Texas, to Para Los Niños in Los Angeles, to Meals on Wheels in Washington D.C. to Chicago Cares. Volunteers at each organization will receive Corner Bakery’s signature catering items like the “Corner Classic” which includes an assortment of signature sandwiches, fresh salads and a sweets basket.
At the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas, Corner Bakery will treat more than 100 local fifth-grade student volunteers who are spending the day sorting and boxing food for the organization’s 260 member agencies.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of Corner Bakery Cafe’s Catering to Our Community program,” said Jan Pruitt, North Texas Food Bank President and CEO. “Our volunteers are invaluable to us as we could not achieve our mission if it weren’t for the 50,000 hours donated annually. We’re so grateful for our shared mission with Corner Bakery – to feed people – and we thank them for providing this delicious meal as an expression of gratitude to our volunteers.”
