The partnership between PDQ and 4 Rivers will also include a food distribution in coordination with One Heart for Women and Children on Wednesday, June 16 at Edgewater High School from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., according to the release. 4Roots will provide produce and PDQ will offer boxed meals to people on a first-come, first-served basis.

The partnership is a natural fit and we are excited to spread the word about dining with purpose.”
