"The nonprofit’s new headquarters in Buzzard Point sits right near the recovery site; after the Metropolitan Police Department made sure its usual meal deliveries got out that morning (says chief development officer Alexander Justice Moore), the organization pivoted to provide hundreds of free, hot lunches to a few nearby locations via a mobile delivery truck. Craig Newmark donated the truck to the organization during the pandemic to prepare for emergencies like these. First responders received meals full of herb-roasted chicken, mac and cheese, roasted green beans, and butternut squash. Today more than 120 people made online donations to help cover the costs, and the group plans to return to Gravelly Point with hot meals tomorrow and as needed going forward, says Moore." - Tierney Plumb
