Parker’s Kitchen Partnership Goals

Through the Parker's Community Fund, Parker’s Kitchen partners with WWP to support local veterans in its community.

Parker’s Kitchen’s partnership focuses on four major objectives:

 

To be a force for positive change in the communities Parker’s Kitchen serves.

 

To support WWP programs and advocacy efforts serving 18,000+ warriors and family members and 1.4 million veterans in coastal Georgia and South Carolina.

 

Create community engagement by providing its customers with an opportunity to join Parker’s in supporting worthy causes through its point-of-sale roundup campaign.

 

To help fulfill its mission of supporting 501(C)3 organizations dedicated to making a positive measurable impact in the lives of heroes.

Parker’s Kitchen’s Partnership Commitment

Parker’s Kitchen has helped fuel the WWP mission since 2024.

With numerous members of its workforce having served, Parker’s Kitchen values veteran employment and is working with WWP Warriors to Work to develop local veteran workforce development initiatives.

In coordination with the WWP Warriors Speak team, injured veterans have shared their stories of sacrifice and resilience with company employees.

Supported by public relations, marketing, advertising, and in-store messaging, Parker’s Kitchen provides customers an opportunity to support injured veterans through a point-of-sale round-up campaign.
