Clients Who Care: Papa Spud’s

Clients Who Care: Papa Spud’s

December 24, 2014January 31, 2023 Tracy LathanBlog, Case Studies, Clairemont Client News, Sustainabilitycharitable giving, Papa Spud's, Public Relations, sustainable food

In the spirit of holiday giving, “Clients Who Care” is a blog series that recognizes some of the recent acts of kindness and caring demonstrated by Clairemont clients. We hope these stories inspire you to be charitable this holiday season and throughout 2015. Happy Holidays!

Having been a supporter of the CSA box delivery concept for years, I was thrilled when we got the opportunity to work with Papa Spud’s. For those of you not familiar, Papa Spud’s is a farm to fork delivery service that has been serving the Triangle since 2008. The team works with more than 50 local farmers and artisans to fill community supported agriculture (CSA) boxes each week. Unlike other CSA services, Papa Spud’s offers dairy, meat and an assortment of items along with a wide variety of fruits and veggies, so each box is completely customizable to meet the needs of individual families.

During our work together these past few months, we learned that Papa Spud’s believes in the importance of giving back not just during the holiday season, but all year long. In addition to serving Triangle residents and educating them about the importance of eating healthy and supporting local farmers, Papa Spud’s is giving back to our community in a significant way. Each week, Papa Spud’s donates an estimated 300 to 400 pounds of leftover food to the Interfaith Food Shuttle. Interfaith is an amazing organization and this donation, no doubt, has a huge impact on the programs and people they are able to support.

In addition to the weekly Interfaith donations, Papa Spud’s also supports various organizations and charities with food donations throughout the year. We salute Rob and his team for all they do to serve their customers, educate Triangle residents about the importance of eating local foods and by giving back to those in need. Here’s to a bountiful 2015!

Clients Who Care: T.MAC

Clients Who Care: T.MAC

In the spirit of holiday giving, “Clients Who Care” is a blog series that recognizes some of the recent acts of kindness and caring demonstrated by Clairemont clients. We hope these stories inspire you to be charitable this holiday season and throughout 2015. Happy Holidays!

In the months leading up to T.MAC opening its doors in Cary on October 5, 2014, I became familiar with several key numbers related to the casual, neighborhood restaurant. One hundred beers on draft, 40 local craft beers, 75 HDTVs, 7,150 square feet and seating for 183 guests were all part of frequent conversations. However, in my opinion, the most impressive number was revealed on Giving Tuesday almost two months after the restaurant opened its doors to guests.

The number is 8,000. It’s the amount of money T.MAC raised for two Triangle-based non-profit organizations during a campaign that ran in conjunction with the restaurant’s opening. Life Experiences in Cary and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) of the Triangle were both presented with a check for $4,000. In case you’re wondering, JDRF plans to use the money to support its annual walk held in October and Life Experiences says the money will help with its day-to-day operational expenses.

I feel it’s important to point out that these sizable donations are about more than getting news coverage during what some consider to be the “giving season.” The people behind T.MAC believe it is just as important to a be good community partner as it is to offer a fun and enjoyable dining experience to guests — a message I feel was demonstrated when the restaurant donated $8,000 two organizations that do so much for the local community.

At a time of year when many of us are reflecting on 2014, I cannot help but to look ahead and wonder what T.MAC’s impressive numbers will be in 2015 as it continues to give back to the community it serves.

Clients Who Care: PDQ

Clients Who Care: PDQ

In the spirit of holiday giving, “Clients Who Care” is a blog series that recognizes some of the recent acts of kindness and caring demonstrated by Clairemont clients. We hope these stories inspire you to be charitable this holiday season and throughout 2015. Happy Holidays!

Having worked closely with PDQ throughout 2014, we know that it is a company that gives back to its communities on a regular basis, not just during the holidays. Charitable giving, school and community sponsorships and helping neighbors is part of PDQ’s culture. It has been an honor to assist in many community initiatives here in the Triangle for this Tampa-based, growing restaurant brand that’s actively engaged everywhere it has locations.

Last Friday, PDQ got involved in local toy drives in more than one location. PDQ Durham helped Sean Maroney and WNCN #stockthesled, while  PDQs in Tampa participated in WILD 94.1‘s toy drive and PDQ St. Petersburg  102.5 The Bone. In each case, PDQ asked the radio stations, “What do you need?” In Durham, the answer was to meet the goal of 1,000 toys as the end of the drive was quickly approaching. PDQ team members and their families went shopping at 9 p.m. and helped WNCN exceed its goal! Similarly, Orlando from WILD 94.1 said they needed bikes. PDQ delivered bikes! In St. Pete, 102.5 needed toys and food for its volunteers. PDQ delivered its famous hand-breaded chicken tenders for everyone onsite and donated $500 in toys.

We admire our clients at PDQ for their dedication to helping good causes and for their ability to move quickly when community organizations have immediate needs. Our holiday hats are off to you, PDQ!
