What is Vendisco?

Eric Reid Jr.'s journey into business began in the NFL where he became one of the most prominent players in the league. However, he soon became aware of the systemic oppression and inequality that plagued American society. Along with Colin Kaepernick, he decided to take a knee during the national anthem to protest systemic oppression and police brutality. This decision cost him his career in the NFL, but it ignited a passion within him to address those inequalities through business.

Eric began to channel his energy into a new project. He saw how poor nutrition was a major contributor to the health disparities that existed in underserved and diverse communities. So, he founded a meal delivery service called Vendisco. Vendisco partners with healthcare organizations and educational institutions to provide healthy meals to at-home patients and students.
