Care for the community
Moving on to a different topic , Tony tells us more about IRMG Cares , an initiative through which the company positively impacts the local community . “ During the pandemic , we realized how fortunate we were at IRMG ; we had no debt at the time which enabled us to grow without the debt servicing obligations faced by some of our colleagues . To express our gratitude , we wanted to give back to the local community and help address food insecurities and educational needs . We created a charitable initiative called IRMG Cares , and work on a project every quarter . For example , around Thanksgiving or Christmas , we provide 100 to 150 bags of non-perishable food to underprivileged children in local schools . Similarly , at the beginning of the school year , we donate around 300 school supplies kits filled with writing materials , crayons , markers , some snacks and other supplies to children in need .
“ We have also partnered with a local tri-county school called the SEED School , which houses and educates children from families whose income is at or below 200 percent of the federal guidelines and who are either in foster care , receive welfare , or have an immediate family member who is incarcerated . At the SEED School , the children are provided with their own hygiene products , which isn ’ t necessarily the case once they get home . To address this need , we work with the school to provide hygiene products for the children to take home . IRMG Cares ’ mission is also integrated into our vendor contracts with certain brands , which require them to contribute to IRMG Cares , allowing us to impact even more people in the community ,” Tony ends .
With a diverse portfolio that includes franchises , proprietary concepts , and community initiatives , IRMG has proven itself as a leading force in the quick-serve restaurant industry . ■
