New York is considered the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and as a result, has been one of the hardest hit by the virus. To support all the frontline workers combating the virus, Butler Hospitality has pledged to donate 100,000 meals per day to patients, government workers, troops, hospital workers, and others offering support.
So far, Butler Hospitality is serving hospitals like Mount Sinai and Cornell Weil, troops in the Javits Center, nurses who have traveled to NYC, and patients who have been discharged from the hospitals and are checking into hotels because they can’t go home, among others.
As the world continues to fight COVID-19, more people will be relying on the support from companies like Butler Hospitality who are selflessly acting to try to save lives.
