COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Just Made, Better means more than great food and ingredients. Giving back is a part of who we are, and we're committed to building deep roots around each of our stores.
We believe in giving military personnel, first-responders, and teachers the special treatment. And, we commit time and money to supporting charities, schools, little league and high school sports teams, and students.
Every PDQ restaurant participates in hundreds of initiatives each year - Spirit Fundraising Events, Community events, PDQ Fundraising cards and more — to benefit local organizations.

And, we’re just getting started.
To us, our community is our home. It’s where our Guests live. It’s where we work. And it’s why we exist: to help make each of our local communities just, better.
