This morning, representatives of the Roosevelt Island Foodtown supermarket delivered lunch boxes to Coler. According to Foodtown ‘s Nancy D’agostino

We delivered 50 individually packed lunches


that each had a sandwich, pickle, fruit salad, chips and condiments. We also provide cookies and drinks.


And, Foodtown has initiated a First In Line Program


for First Responders, Healthcare workers and Hospital Staff. Not only do they not have to wait in a long line ( they need to introduce themselves to the manager on duty) but we are giving them a $5 coupon after their first spend to use on their next shop.

UPDATE 6 PM – A Roosevelt Island resident c omments on Facebook Page:

This makes me happy to see this . I will make it my business to shop more at Foodtown . I like to see when businesses share and show compassion toward others. Thank you Foodtown.
