OUR MISSION


For over 20 years, we’ve been dedicated to uplifting our community through food and toy drives, scholarships, and back-to-school support. In 2018, our lifelong commitment became official with the establishment of the Coolie Myrick Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, allowing us to expand our programs and impact even further.

Guided by faith and service, we show up where we’re needed to create lasting change for families.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Making a Difference,

One Meal at a Time

The Coolie Myrick Foundation proudly received an $8,670 donation from the AES Foundation by Arby’s, a remarkable show of support that speaks volumes about the power of partnership and purpose. The AES Foundation—philanthropic arm of the AES Restaurant Group, which operates Arby’s franchises across the country—is dedicated to giving back through programs that strengthen local communities, support youth initiatives, and fight food insecurity.

What makes this contribution even more special? This generous check represented the highest amount raised out of all AES Foundation locations nationwide. That means our community showed up in a big way—proving once again that when we come together with heart and hustle, incredible things happen.

We’re deeply grateful for the AES Foundation’s belief in our mission and for every customer who made this donation possible. This gift will directly fuel our ongoing work—supporting students, families, and programs that uplift our community from the ground up.
