When The Great American Takeout launched on March 24, 2020, we expected it to be a one-day event. But one year (and 16 events) later, we’re still here. And so are millions of restaurants, owners, operators and employees who have defied seemingly insurmountable odds to keep their doors open and their kitchens cooking. Rich’s is proud to stand by their side as they mark this one-year anniversary with their biggest event yet! On March 24th, The Great American Takeout is driving for record-breaking takeout sales to raise over $500,000 for the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation (NRAEF) and Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE) to support restaurant workers and their families.
