Employees Count on Catered Meals During COVID-19 Pandemic
Broadview, IL March 23, 2020—National Van Lines counts on our coast-to-coast network of small-business owners to accomplish interstate moves, so we clearly understand COVID-19’s financial impact on mom-and-pop organizations.
Informed by this awareness, the company that Makes Moving EasySM is enlisting local restaurants to cater lunch weekly at our corporate headquarters to employees unable to work remotely.
“We’re reaching out to small-business eateries near our Broadview, IL-based headquarters in a reciprocal arrangement during this difficult time: They cook it; we eat it,” National Van Lines CEO & Chairman Tim Helenthal said. “We’re happy supporting our local restaurants as Illinois eateries are forced to shutter their dining rooms.”
While many employees have switched to working from home, the nature of the moving business demands other team members stay on-site at the National Van Lines HQ to keep essential functions rolling.
“Our employees regularly enjoy the variety of cuisine these often-independent restaurateurs provide,” Helenthal said. “In Broadview and Westchester alone, we have access to Chinese, Thai, Mexican, soul, seafood, hot dogs, hamburgers—you name it. These restaurants have supported our collective appetite for years. Now, it’s our turn.”
