Quality Supply Chain Co-op, Inc.

At QSCC, we celebrated Wendy’s annual Frosty 5K Run for Adoption by organizing a group run/walk! 🏃♂️ Not only did we enjoy a fun, active run/walk, but we also came together to support the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, making a real difference in the lives of children in foster care. A huge thank you to everyone who participated, whether you joined us in person or ran/walked on your own. Your efforts are truly making a difference, one step at a time!

We are thrilled to announce that Aneil Lala has joined the QSCC Board of Directors! With an expansive background in the investment banking and hedge fund industry, his strong commitment to strategic growth, operational transparency, and community engagement will make him a valuable addition to our Board. Please join us in welcoming Aneil!

Who can pass up this sweet deal? Wendy’s is ending the summer right with $1 Frosty treats from now until September 15. Special shoutout to all our team members, suppliers, and distributors who help bring Frosty to a Wendy’s restaurant near you!  

Over the last couple of weeks, QSCC participated in Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s Operation Feed Campaign. Through our team’s efforts, we raised over $3,600, which will go directly to help stock the shelves of hundreds of MOFC’s food pantries throughout Central and Eastern Ohio! To help drive their mission forward, we organized a canned food drive, a Lunch ‘N Learn with MOFC’s very own Craig Truax, a painting competition, a cornhole tournament, and had associates volunteering at the Mid-Ohio Market at Gantz Road. Another amazing campaign with our team as we continue to Give Something Back to our local community!  Big shoutout to our summer interns: Kennedy Tucker, Isabella Forsyth, and Kylie Hack, who did a great job planning and executing our OpFeed events!  

Exciting news for The Wendy's Company and QSCC family! We have partnered with Palantir Technologies to accelerate our digital transformation and AI adoption.
