The men and women on the front line are true everyday heroes. We pay tribute to their invaluable service yearly through First Responders Day. Initiated in 2017 following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, each year, we offer any on-duty First Responder a complimentary three-course lunch. That initiative is just one of the ways we can honor those who put their lives on the line and serve with integrity
Food insecurity is unfortunately a truth we live in, even in prosperous times and in affluent communities. We are fully committed to hunger relief efforts through our all-in participation in Houston Restaurant Weeks and DFW Restaurant Week initiatives supporting children and families in need. In the Greater Houston area and North Dallas counties, 1 in 4 children go hungry; food insecurity also rises in times of weather-related disasters, economic instability and global crises such as the pandemic.
Everyone deserves the educational tools and resources necessary to promote robust learning and healthy creativity. By supporting schools in the neighborhoods our restaurants serve – we hope to ensure a more fulfilling, well-rounded education experience for our most precious resource: the growing minds of our communities.
Poverty, family instability and lack of access to education are all factors that contribute to at-risk youth. We support organizations that positively affect the lives of vulnerable children and young adults. Those initiatives include health services, crisis intervention, mentoring/coaching, and leadership and problem-solving activities. With these services at their disposal, at-risk youth are far less likely to face negative outcomes in their lives.
