SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Wounded Warrior Project has named Parker’s Kitchen its Corporate Partner of the Year in recognition of the company’s continued support of veterans in Georgia and South Carolina.

Wounded Warrior Project CEO Walt Piatt presented the organization’s top national impact award to Parker’s Kitchen during an event Monday in Savannah.

Parker’s Kitchen also presented Wounded Warrior Project with a record $375,000 donation raised through its latest customer round-up campaign. The company matched 25% of customer donations and increased its match to 50% during May in recognition of National Military Appreciation Month.
