MACo's Gold Corporate Partner
BGE
, partnered with six local catering companies to provide nearly 2,000 meals to front-line workers in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Twice a week through early May, David & Dad’s will provide lunch to Grace Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. Deliveries will also go to two city fire stations.
This is part of a larger effort involving Jel-Cap Vending, Chesapeake Food Works, the Lunch Box Lady, Xquisite Catering, and Cured Restaurant to provide meals to eight hospitals and 17 fire stations in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, Howard, and Montgomery Counties and Baltimore City.
“We wanted to find a way to both give back to the first responders and also support the many caterers that we did consistent business with before the pandemic impacted how and where we work,” said Rodney Oddoye, BGE’s Senior Vice President of Governmental and External Affairs. “Partnering with these caterers allows us to quickly provide a good meal and token of our appreciation to the doctors, nurses and support staff as well as fire fighters and EMTs who are risking themselves to take care of our community. Being able to support small businesses during the pandemic and hopefully help them through this challenging time is an added benefit.”
