Why a £3billion pound Sandwich shop gave me a Free Meal?
Last Saturday, after volunteering to feed families and children in my community, I drove about 30 miles to another town, still wearing my volunteer shirt. As I walked into a sandwich shop 🥪🥪🥪, the person at the counter recognized me as part of the Gillingham S.T.R.E.E.T Angels, a group dedicated to feeding families and children in the community ensuring no child goes to bed hungry.
When I went to pay, he insisted, "No, take it for free." He explained that Pret a Manger, the company he worked for, supports the homeless through food giveaways.
Lesson Learned:
Corporate Kindness: This experience showed me that even big companies like Pret a Manger are compassionate and actively support their communities.
Building Loyalty: Acts of kindness, like providing free meals to volunteers, not only support those in need but also build loyalty and goodwill within the community.
It's inspiring to see how businesses can make a positive impact beyond their products or services.
What does your brand mean to you?
How are you contributing to your community?
Let's celebrate and encourage kindness and generosity in all forms. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world.
