This program demonstrates the seriousness with which Odell’s take their responsibility in the community as a Responsible Alcohol Retailer (RAR).

Safe Ways Home cards provide information about available transportation options, costs involved with each, and how to contact the respective services. Ensuring that patrons get home safely is part of the RAR Code of Ethics. |
