Putting Our Community First
Our passion goes beyond crafting delicious food. We’re deeply invested in the neighborhoods we serve, supporting local causes and events while striving to be the best in quality food and friendly service. Giving back isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.
Igniting Change in Our Community
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to blood cancers. They fund research to find cures and better treatments, while also supporting patients and their families.
Our partnership began with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2010 after the tragic passing of our company founder, Stephen J. Hanzlik. He fought a courageous battle against blood cancer for many years, and in his honor, we have partnered each year with LLS in many different ways to help bring light to the darkness of cancer. Our communities and team members have helped us raise millions of dollars to help find a cure.
Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley (PCFLV)
Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley is a local organization supporting families experiencing pediatric cancer. A portion of every Red Robin Catering dessert tray benefits this amazing foundation. Additionally, we’re honored to provide catered meals to families going through treatment at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital in Allentown, PA.
Red Robin Foundation
At the core of our company culture lies our Giving Fund program, a testament to our team’s compassion. Through voluntary contributions starting at just $1 per paycheck, employees directly support colleagues facing unexpected hardships. 100% of donations go towards helping our own team members in need.
Justin Sheftel Memorial Fund
The Justin Sheftel Memorial Fund honors Justin by providing athletic and educational opportunities for underserved youth in the Lehigh Valley. Through events like their annual softball tournament, they keep Justin’s memory alive while helping local kids thrive. We are proud to support the organization by hosting a mocktail competition each year during the tournament.
Wingstop Charities
The Wingstop Foundation Team Members Assistance Program is funded by team members, for team members. This program provides direct financial support to team members experiencing an unforeseen hardship, crisis, or natural disaster. For every new Wingstop location we open, our team donates $500 of opening day sales to the Wingstop Foundation Team Member Assistance Program. We are proud to assist Wingstop team members in any way we can!
The Kindness Project
The Kindness Project provides essential resources and enriching experiences for children in foster care in Eastern Pennsylvania. From clothing and hygiene items to educational toys and fun activities, they help ensure these children have a brighter future. We’re happy to partner with The Kindness Project to offer meals to families in emergency situations when dinner is the last thing they need to worry about.
Habitat for Humanity Lehigh Valley
Habitat for Humanity empowers families to build affordable homes, fostering stability and equity through volunteerism and partnerships. The LVRB team participates in the annual She Nailed It! competition, the annual Gingerbread House Challenge and volunteers their time to assist with building homes.
Make-A-Wish
Make-A-Wish grants life-changing wishes to critically ill children, sparking hope, joy, and strength for them and their families. In addition to donating 10 cents for every Red Robin kid’s meal purchased, one of our favorite things about partnering with Make-A-Wish is the joy we get to witness at Wish Reveal Celebrations!
Blessings in a Backpack
Blessings in a Backpack is a national non-profit organization that works to combat childhood hunger by providing children in need with a backpack full of nutritious, easy-to-prepare food on the weekends. In 2024, Red Robin set a world record for packing 15,000 backpacks in a brand wide effort to fight childhood hunger.
