Yesterday, some of our Rita’s team had the privilege of participating in the Eagles 9/11 Meal Pack Event in partnership with 9/11 Day & AmeriCorps. Our volunteers beautifully demonstrated 2 key Rita’s fundamentals: #30 Be a Brand Ambassador and #31 Treat Each Other Like Family. With the help of dedicated Philadelphia volunteers, 700,000 meals were packed yesterday! We are proud to contribute to this amazing cause and join in spreading kindness in memoriam of those we lost.
