Poor Richard's Cafe

Poor Richards enjoys giving back to the Community that has helped our business flourish. At Thanksgiving along with Plano Sunrise Rotary, Plano Police and its customers, Poor Richards serves Thanksgiving meals to deserving families, individuals and Seniors. In 2009 the event fed over 2350 folks a hot Thanksgiving Meal. Santa Claus courtesy of Plano Christmas Cops showed up with toys and a photo opportunity for youngsters and families. The event brings together over 225 volunteers from various community agencies, schools, police departments, Rotary Clubs and customers and employees of Poor Richards. With the help of the police departments from Plano, Allen, McKinney and Frisco along with the Collin County Sheriffs Department, they delivered hot Thanksgiving meals for individual Meals on Wheels people and families plus bulk meals to Seniors at Plano Community Homes and Boys and Girls Club of McKinney.

We sponsor Flu Shots for customers and employees in October. Seniors can use Medicare for free shots. During the year Poor Richards supports numerous school and civic organizations who need some help.
