[1]Cracker Barrel Steps Up To Serve Nashville In Need.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is doing its part to help victims as families in Nashville, Tennessee struggle to get their lives back in order after a record-breaking flood hit the area earlier this month. The company, which has locations in the Sarasota area, has organized several relief efforts.
Recently, Cracker Barrel employees went to disaster relief shelters in Nashville to hand out “gold cards” that flood victims could redeem for complimentary meals at Cracker Barrel restaurants. The company also gave affected Cracker Barrel locations a supply of these cards to be distributed to employees and guests impacted by the disaster.
“We are deeply concerned for the people affected by the storms and flooding that occurred the first week in May in Middle Tennessee,” said Senior Director of Human Resources for Cracker Barrel, Mike Mott. “We at Cracker Barrel want to do all we can to help people get back on their feet. We continue to monitor the situation and are prepared to step in with additional relief efforts as appropriate.”
Besides distributing the “gold cards,” Cracker Barrel has pledged to make a cash donation to Hands On Nashville. Hands On Nashville is one of the main relief organizations serving the hardest hit areas. Cracker Barrel will also evaluate other opportunities where it can make a difference.
Since many Cracker Barrel employees from outside the Nashville area wanted to help their fellow employees, the company launched “Cracker Barrel Cares, Inc.”, a non-profit corporation supported by Cracker Barrel employees to assist their colleagues in need.
