Supporting locally owned restaurants to purchase breakfast for their community
Individuals and local businesses alike have suffered greatly due to the effects of COVID-19 , and the management company for SloHi Flats Apartments decided to do what they could to help .
Envolve LLC , one of the country ’ s largest affordable multifamily property owners and managers , wanted to support its communities during these uncertain times . The company decided to purchase breakfast for all residents of SloHi Flats on 9 / 19 — but instead of patronizing a chain restaurant , they chose locally-owned Rise & Shine Biscuit Kitchen and Café .
“ Small businesses help make up the heart of our community ,” said Brooke Parra , Executive Vice President of Ross - A division of Envolve ( also known as Ross-Envolve ). “ The pandemic has been especially hard on local restaurants , so the Envolve Resident Lunch Program was the perfect means for us to help support a fantastic one right here in Denver — even though we deviated and went with breakfast instead of lunch just so we could pick Rise & Shine !”
“ We love their food ,” agreed Yesenia Parra , Community Manager of SloHi Flats , “ and it was great to be outside welcoming all of the residents who came out for this fun breakfast .”
Attendees went to the property ’ s first floor patio to pick up their meals . Menu options included biscuits with different combinations of egg , cheese , bacon , chicken , sausage , and ham , as well as chewy breakfast bars , bottled water , and Starbucks coffee to round out the most important meal of the day .
“ Everyone was so excited and thankful to Ross-Envolve for providing such delicious food ,” Yesenia continued . “ Several residents also commented on how nice the property looks .”
“ This was an awesome opportunity to show appreciation for our residents ,” said Ignacio Vasquez , Regional Manager for Ross-Envolve . “ There was a great turnout , and I ’ m extremely thankful to my SloHi team for making this event such a success .”
