Boost Oxygen realiza una donación al Banco de Alimentos de Connecticut para paliar los efectos del coronavirus

MILFORD , CT, UNITED STATES, April 14, 2020 – As the entire world unites to fight the coronavirus pandemic, we are reminded daily of the heroic efforts of those operating on the front-line including doctors, nurses and paramedics. Backing them up in the fight are millions of other essential workers – pharmaceutical companies testing new treatments and cures, manufacturing companies developing medical supplies, truck drivers making those important deliveries, grocery store employees, and food bank workers, who are helping to provide for people who have suddenly lost their income.

“We appreciate this gift from Mr. Neuner and Boost Oxygen because it comes at such a critical time of need,” said Beverly Catchpole, Connecticut Food Bank Senior Director of Development. “Hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents are suddenly finding themselves without work and many are struggling to put food on the table.”

Mientras todos se unen para detener el virus, el impacto económico para millones de estadounidenses ha sido grave. Pagar el alquiler, las facturas de los servicios públicos e incluso las comidas básicas se ha convertido en una preocupación para muchas familias. Las buenas personas que gestionan los bancos de alimentos en toda nuestra nación han visto esto de primera mano, en números crecientes como nunca antes, y esta donación inicial de 5.000 dólares es para apoyar el buen trabajo del Banco de Alimentos de Connecticut.

“Every day, so many parents and children rely on schools to provide multiple daily meals. With our schools now closed for the foreseeable future, food banks are stepping up to meet those now critical needs for so many people, especially in inner cities. We are glad to donate to Connecticut Food Bank in support of their efforts…and we will continue to do so in the future.” says Rob Neuner, Boost Oxygen CEO and Co-Founder.

El Sr. Neuner continúa diciendo que "nuestro producto es global, y nuestra sede está aquí mismo, en Connecticut. Como miembro orgulloso de la comunidad de Connecticut, creemos que es importante apoyar los esfuerzos locales dentro de esta crisis mundial."

Donantes, voluntarios, defensores y socios de la industria alimentaria ayudan al Banco de Alimentos de Connecticut a atender a los más de 280.000 hombres, mujeres y niños que luchan contra el hambre en seis de los ocho condados de Connecticut. Gracias a su apoyo, distribuyen alimentos suficientes para preparar más de 50.000 comidas al día en 127 ciudades y pueblos. El Banco de Alimentos de Connecticut trabaja a través de una red de socios y programas de ayuda alimentaria que incluye despensas de alimentos, comedores de beneficencia, refugios de emergencia, programas residenciales y programas de día que atienden a adultos y niños.
