As we bring in the month of June, Rybbon is well on its way to a milestone that none of us could have predicted: three consecutive months of working from home. We are grateful to be able to work from home effectively during this time, and to be part of an organization that puts safety first. Most importantly, though, we are grateful for the essential workers that are still heading out every day to help others.
Though states have been slowly opening back up, northern Virginia (where Rybbon’s US office is located) is still being heavily impacted by COVID-19 and is predominantly shut down. As such, our team has been stuck at home for quite a while now. And we have been ordering a lot of food delivery! To show love and support for the restaurants that are staying open to feed the community, we thought we’d share our favorite places to order from. Warning: hunger may ensue!
