SUMMARY
Amidst the pandemic's chaos, food delivery workers emerged as unsung heroes. Though deemed “essential” as they served thousands cross the city, their own basic human needs and rights remained woefully underserved. As a brand known for its reputation of care and whose business was becoming more reliant on this community, Chick-fil-A knew we needed to act. The Brake Room was a resounding declaration of appreciation that made the workers feel valued, spurred others to do the same and got people to clearly to see Chick-fil-A as a caring brand.
