Daily’s provided more than 2,000 meals to families at its 20 Daily’s Dash locations throughout Northeast Florida on April 3.
It distributed about 100 packages that included a pound of deli meat, a loaf of bread from Village Bread, chips and sweet treats at each location.
There were no requirements to receive a package. They were handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.
“The outpouring of gratitude and support from the community was remarkable,” Aubrey Edge, Daily’s president and CEO, said in a news release. “For some, this was a sorely needed helping hand during a time of need. For others, it was an opportunity to stop by a Daily’s and just say thanks. Many of these joined the giving effort, including a customer who gave $50 to a family of 4 who was waiting in line for a care package. What an amazing example of the generosity of our community during this unprecedented time of crisis.”
The news release said Daily’s will continue to look for ways to support the community during this time.
Daily’s said it continues to operate under normal business hours and under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention safety guidelines.
Daily’s is a privately held convenience store chain. Daily’s Dash serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring specialty and made-to-order sandwiches, soups, salads, desserts, soft-serve ice cream, smoothies, and specialty coffee drinks.
All Daily’s sell Shell gasoline and are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
