NORTH SYRACUSE — Verizon premium retailer R Wireless, located at 113 Lawrence Road East in North Syracuse, is teaming up with Food Bank of Central New York to help fight hunger and give back to the communities they serve.
For the past four years, R Wireless has partnered with their customers, employees and local charities to help drive positive change in the communities they serve. Their Change 4 Change initiative encourages employees to ask customers to round up when making a purchase in their stores, giving their change to a local charity. R Wireless matches all customer and employee donations dollar for dollar, with 100% of the proceeds going to an employee selected charity in their community.
The most recent beneficiary is Food Bank of Central New York. R Wireless donated $500 to the organization.
“My team selected Food Bank of Central NY as our charity because we knew with schools closed due to COVID-19, many families would be more reliant than ever on the services they provide to our communities to ensure kids were getting fed,” said Jesse Mykietyn, R Wireless manager.
Heidi Soine, development coordinator of Food Bank of CNY, called R Wireless “a shining example of how we have been able to partner with local businesses to help strengthen our community.”
“Giving back to the communities we serve is foundational to our company. I could not be prouder of Jesse and his team for the good work they are doing to help support their community,” said Amit Singh, R Wireless area director.
