Jay's Kitchen, a cornerstone of the Goldsboro, NC community, has unveiled two new programs aimed at recognizing local heroes and showing appreciation for Wayne County employees. These initiatives are designed to highlight the contributions of individuals who go above and beyond in their service to the community and to offer tangible benefits to county employees.
The 'Monthly Hero Recognition program' is a central component of this initiative, honoring one Wayne County hero each month. Eligible nominees include a wide range of community servants, from first responders and educators to volunteers and everyday citizens. Each selected hero will receive a $200 gift card to Jay's Kitchen, celebrating their dedication and impact on the community.
Additionally, Jay's Kitchen has introduced the Employee Birthday Discount program. This initiative allows all Wayne County employees to enjoy a 50% discount on their meals at Jay's Kitchen on their birthdays, providing a special way to celebrate their special day while acknowledging their hard work and commitment.
Jay Shin, CEO of Jay's Restaurant Group, which owns Jay's Kitchen, expressed his enthusiasm for the new programs. "We're thrilled to launch this initiative to give back to the incredible community that has supported us," Shin said. "We believe in showing appreciation for those who dedicate themselves to serving others, and we hope this program will make a positive difference."
Shin has taken a hands-on approach to the Monthly Hero Recognition program, personally attending Wayne County commissioner meetings to present the awards to the recipients. This level of involvement underscores the restaurant's commitment to making a meaningful contribution to the community.
"We’re committed to fostering a positive and supportive environment for all Wayne County employees," Shin continued. "This program is a small way to express our appreciation for their dedication and sacrifices."
Looking ahead, Jay's Restaurant Group is exploring the possibility of extending these programs to include additional groups who serve the community, signaling a broader commitment to community engagement and support.
Jay's Kitchen, known for its welcoming atmosphere and delicious food options, has long been a favorite gathering place in Goldsboro. With a focus on fresh ingredients and friendly service, Jay's Kitchen continues to strengthen its ties to the community through these innovative programs.
