The staff and fifteen residents at the Wortley Home for Girls in St Andrew were delighted to welcome the team from Wendy’s this week for a special Christmas lunch courtesy of the popular quick-service restaurant.

Wendy’s Marketing Officer Chadale Smith notes that Wendy’s decided to treat an all-girls home in recognition of the brand’s commitment to youth development and empowering girls. She noted, “Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy’s, had a special affinity for young people and named the restaurant after his daughter Wendy. This is why we felt it was fitting to partner with a home that caters to girls.”

She further noted, “Although we are celebrating yet another pandemic Christmas, we recognise that this season is all about sharing gifts and time with those we care about. It was, therefore, important to us to do something meaningful for the residents and staff of the Wortley Home.”

Wortley Home Manager Delores Bailey expressed her gratitude to Wendy’s noting, “The girls were looking forward to this treat and the meals from Wendy’s were well received and everyone enjoyed the experience. On behalf of all the girls and the staff at the Wortley home, I would like to say a big thank you to Wendy’s for treating us to lunch. It was also lovely to have the staff teach us all the signature Wendy’s jingle. This was a great interaction and we thank you so very much.”
