Educator Celebration Game Win
A lot of Purple Crows were in attendance at Saturday’s Educator Celebration Game. Purple Crow was glad to contribute to the effort and congratulates the Deacs on winning their final home football game this season. Education is important to us all, and we are fortunate to be a part of a community that celebrates teachers and learners!
Thankful for Teachers
Chef Tony provided lunch today for two local public schools. We are so thankful for all teachers, and we hope the faculty and staff of Paisley/Lowrance and Lewisville Elementary enjoyed the food! Chef Tony was even able to tell the Kindergartners in his daughter’s class what it is like to be a chef. Rolando was glad to be part of this delivery, and Jessica came to pick up Paisley’s lunch. Great teamwork to show love to educators. And this Facebook Reel…tell me where the food at?
October Truck Driver Recognition
Congratulations to Allan Arellano-Noyola, Ariel Perez, and Michael Grubbs for being recognized for the excellent work in October, driving trucks. We are grateful for their efforts!
Food Show!
Abasto’s coverage of the Food Show is extensive. Be sure to check out Dan’s interview, a testament to the growth of the Hispanic Community and our gratitude for growing with it.
Fall Food Show Set Up!
It takes quite a bit of effort to set up the Food Show. Tomorrow is our Fall Food Show and today you see all the hustle and bustle of preparation. Lisa and Angelica have been at it for more than just today, setting the theme and doing decor. Tomorrow, when the attendees arrive, it will be that much more alive!
All Saints' Eve
Purple Crow knows how to Party! The imagination and creativity at today’s Halloween Party can hardly be captured in these photos. The spooky snacks were delicious, the costumes amazing, and the haunted-hole-in-one was frightful. What a joy to be with these saints and celebrate God’s goodness.
World of Work!
Purple Crow and Abasto had a bustling table at World Of Work this year at the Joel Coliseum. We interacted with 10th graders from all over the county and showed them that looking for best-by dates on Purple Crow products can be fun! (with king size candy bars as incentives)
Warm Meals, Big Smiles!
A flock of crows were spotted serving hot meals to their Winston Neighbors! What a gift it is to work and serve together! Did you know that Senior Services gives volunteers golf balls to make door knocks louder so the elderly residents can hear? And we thought they were just for Friday putt putt ….
Reach out to Philip Summers or Lucy Calhoun if you want to join us on our next route!
Welcome Fish!
Today was Fish’s first day at the Crow, and it was wonderful! We are so excited to partner with CCA to host a chaplain. Please reach out to Chaplain Fish Figueroa; 919-582-7327 ext. 5138; Video intro.
Saying Grace
Today is the first day our kitchen is open, and we are all very excited! Chef Tony led us in a quick prayer time to “Say Grace,” to give thanks, and to ask a blessing on the kitchen. The gratitude expressed in prayer and by those who were able to attend was real. The true heart of Psalm 34, which says “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” was evident. We asked for the grace to never take such blessings (a company that cares about its employees, a chef, a beautiful kitchen, the ability to work) for granted.
Having fun outside!
Beautiful fall weather for the week of the Feast of Tabernacles, such a wonderful week to be outside. We had fun playing in two golf tournaments and raising money for great causes. On Monday, we attended the Energize Ministries tournament, and today we participated in the 26th Annual Valarie Anne Moser Tournament. Purple Crow has supplied food for every edition, and this year Chef Tony’s burgers were again delicious. We loved Happy’s Ice Cream, too!
Serving Seniors with JOY!
It is so good to be neighbors with Senior Services! Being part of Meals on Wheels is so meaningful and mutually beneficial as we work to develop crowmunity.
Survey says…
Culture Amp is helping us do an employee engagement survey at the end of October. Stay tuned for more details, and know that all responses will be confidential. Your input will help us grow!
¡Gracias Drivers!
During this National Truck Driver Appreciation Week we have been celebrating all of our wonderful drivers. Even NC State Rep Brown got in on the action. Who doesn’t love a raffle!
A Mercado to Remember
The first annual Crow Mercado was a blast! We are so thankful to all the vendors who participated and the shoppers who came and shopped till they dropped! The artwork below ‘Crow Doing Crow Things’ was drawn by our employees and their families!
Cameron Mallory
A rising DC United prospect whose Dad (Matthew) is a Crow stopped by to see us yesterday. We pray he has a bright future ahead. We are cheering for you Cameron!

A beautiful day for a neighbor

Song by Fred Rogers
This morning, we met our neighbors at Senior Services. We all came away so impressed by their work and their deep care for our community. We learned that in our very zip code of 27105 there are many seniors in the Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels is feeling like a great way to met even more of our neighbors.
