July 25, 2025

National Retail Solutions (NRS) hosted a special lunch and learn event with Mighty Writers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children develop strong writing skills and achieve academic success. The community luncheon brought together NRS and IDT Corporation employees with young writers to explore new collaboration opportunities under the NRS Cares initiative.

The event served as an introduction to Mighty Writers' mission, allowing NRS employees to learn about the organization's impact on youth education in local communities. Multiple IDT employees signed up as volunteers and mentors for the young writers participating in the program.

"We're excited to add Mighty Writers to our NRS Cares portfolio of community partnerships," said Elie Y. Katz, President & CEO of NRS. "Investing in young people's education and writing skills is investing in the future of our communities. These talented young writers represent the next generation of leaders, and we're honored to support their journey."

The luncheon represents the beginning of an expanded partnership between NRS and Mighty Writers. The companies are planning a career day for participating children, as well as additional events to raise awareness about youth literacy and writing programs.

"Seeing our employees connect with these talented young writers was truly inspiring," said Victoria Wilkerson, Business Development & Outreach Specialist at NRS. "The enthusiasm our team showed for volunteering as mentors demonstrates our shared commitment to making a difference. We're looking forward to the career day and future events that will help these students explore new possibilities for their futures."

The initiative reflects NRS's commitment to supporting causes that strengthen local communities and provide opportunities for growth and development.

The partnership with Mighty Writers aligns with NRS's mission to support small businesses and communities across the United States and Canada, extending that commitment to educational initiatives that help young people develop essential skills for future success.
