Delivering more than packages

Food

Making a difference in our local community is part of who we are. Each week, RDSI partners with Food for Greater Elgin to deliver food to elderly residents and families in need. Together with FFGE, we can tackle big problems and take better care of our community. RDSI leverages its dedicated fleet and driving expertise to get basic necessities to those who need them most. 

How RDSI gives back

Each week since 2020, Rapid Delivery Solutions has partnered with Food for Greater Elgin to help distribute food to elderly residents and families in our local community. Food for Greater Elgin (FFGI) is a regional guest-choice food pantry that provides meat, fresh produce, dairy, deli, and shelf-stable items to households in need.

RDSI drivers load boxes of goods from the FFGE pantry into their RDSI vans and then deliver meals and household essentials to more than 2,600 families in need throughout Elgin, South Elgin, East Dundee, and West Dundee. Their efforts help nourish at-risk children and assist people who are disabled or homebound. In addition to supporting FFGE’s operations, Rapid Delivery Solutions also donates a portion of its profits to give back to the community and to help fund FFGE in its important cause.

“RDSI is an especially valuable partner to Food for Greater Elgin,” says Executive Director, Dr. Michael Montgomery. “Our partnership increases our ability to get weekly supplies of food to shut-in residents. Because RDSI drivers are familiar with city roadways, they’re efficient in delivering food to families in need and can help us scale operations with ease. It has been a pleasure partnering with them.”

Living out the company’s core values is a fundamental part of RDSI’s culture. Rapid Delivery Solutions is committed to demonstrating leadership both in its daily business operations and in meeting the needs of the surrounding community.

“The people working there were all very nice. Everyone I talked to during the deliveries was very pleasant and appreciative.” – Dave K.
Being able to help the Elgin community when they are in need is just a small way to show we care.
