The We Appreciate You meal initiative was created in 2019 to honor the city workers for their selfless dedication to the city of Rowlett.
“They work so hard every day supporting the city and community and we want to show our appreciation for their commitment to the betterment of this amazing city”, says Landon Huie, Director of 19 Ministries.
March 30-April 3, the ministry will be providing a free lunch at McAlister’s (4305 Lakeview Pkwy., #300, Rowlett, TX) for more than 400 Rowlett city workers to include police, firemen, and other government workers. The workers will need to show an email lunch ticket to redeem their free lunch at the restaurant.
