Earlier this week, several thoughtful people in the neighborhood ordered food from San Loco to be delivered to the workers at two local hospitals.
I tagged along with San Loco owners Jill and Kimo Hing as they — and their team — created, packaged and delivered hot lunches on Tuesday to two area hospitals, including Beth Israel’s emergency room.
The staff at both hospitals — on the frontlines of the coronavirus outbreak — were clearly tired and stressed, though grateful for the meals. I could see firsthand the conditions today and having the gift of food delivered was appreciated.
San Loco has set up these grab-n-go burrito grande meal packages (beef, chicken, pork, tofu, roasted veggie or rice and beans) along with a side of guacamole and chips and can do the same if you’d like to order food for some local first responders, hospital staff or nursing home/senior center employees.
To purchase meals, please call San Loco at its Stanton Street location at 212-253-7580 or email via this contact.
San Loco's Avenue C location is currently closed, but the outpost at 111 Stanton St. is open for takeout and delivery.
Thank you kind people!
ReplyDeleteBravo & Brava to the wonderful people who made this happen! I hope it inspires more people to do similar.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how exhausted the hospital workers are, but to have a delicious hot meal just APPEAR in front of you must be amazing!
Proof that there are still kind and caring people in this world.
