Show Notes Chapter Markers

This is the story of Stuytown's management team and how they rose to the challenge of providing food to those who needed it the most during the COVID-19 lockdown in NYC. In addition to running the Stuytown pantry - which has delivered over 300,000 lbs at the time of this recording in June 2020 - they also used the residential ice cream truck to deliver over 20, 000 cups of ice cream to health care workers in NYC. 

Joining me on this show are, Robert Vazquez-director of lifestyle services and deliverer of joy, happiness and ice cream to over 20 NYC hospitals and their respective healthcare heroes- Meera Mason-Sukhra and Gerald Taggart-both managers in our Design and Construction division who are overseeing the logistics of the Stuy Town Pantry.
