Cushman and Wakefield Sage Partners provides free food to tornado victims

ROGERS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — It’s a long road to recovery for the city of Rogers, and one local company is making sure the work isn’t done on an empty stomach.

Tom Allen, who is president of Cushman and Wakefield Sage Partners, was at the Frisco Mall on June 12 and served lunch to victims of the tornado outbreak over Memorial Day weekend.

Cushman and Wakefield, a commercial real estate company, expressed their gratitude for having the opportunity to serve residents and businesses affected by the storm.

The team of speakers served hamburgers and hot dogs to storm victims and even handed out goodie bags.

“It’s our way of showing gratitude to everyone who is working hard to rebuild our community,” Allen said. “It was great, but the point of this is to be part of the community. There are so many people here working to help restore Roger’s electricity. Home repair with all tree removal services is devastating. There are still people without power or just now given power. This event was for people in our community who don’t have access to lunch or food right now, so we just want to have a small part of that relief effort.”

The company president encourages people to take a break from the intense heat and come and have a free cold water meal.

The Cushman and Wakefield Sage Partners team will continue to serve the community as it continues to recover from the recent storm.
