Thomas Salerno, CEO, explained “We are a company based in NY and
NJ, the epicenter of the pandemic. Just about every one of our
employees have been affected in some way by the devastation of this
virus. It is very close to home for us and a no brainer do
something for these brave front line workers. It also helps the
local food establishments that have been hit so hard by the
shutdown. They are thrilled to get a food order for 100+ people and
happy to deliver it to these facilities.”
TSR has begun providing meals to Emergency and ICU departments
at area hospitals, nursing homes, public transportation and
sanitation departments and other essential workers that are keeping
our country running and safe. Yesterday it was Pizza from Patsy’s
for the ER Department at NY Presbyterian in NYC, tonight it’s the
night shift of the ER at Huntington Hospital on Long Island who
will be receiving dinner from Pomodorino Restaurant, and tomorrow
it’s a giant 6 ft. heroes for Christian Healthcare Center in NJ
from Esposito’s Restaurant.
Additional recipients of the Feed The Heroes program are
Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn, Robert Wood Johnson ICU Department
in NJ where the wife of a TSR employee is an ICU Nurse and
University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
The Feed The Heroes fund was started with donations from TSR
employees and then matched dollar for dollar by the Company. The
Board of Directors also donated their fees to help increase the
program’s impact. Bradley Tirpak, Chairman of the Board said, “At
this time of great hardship, we are pleased to be able to do a
small part and support Feed The Heroes. I thank Tom Salerno for
taking the initiative and getting institutions in our community as
much support as possible. We have waived our board fees and
instructed the Company to donate that money to the cause.”
Thomas Salerno stated, “Growing up in an Italian family, having
a meal together is very important to us. It’s our way of sharing,
caring and healing each other and it provides much needed therapy
from the outside world. I hope that the few minutes these brave
heroes take to eat this food, brings them a little bit of the
same.”
