IBEW Local 773 Partners With Mezzo Ristorante to feed Frontline Health Workers
IBEW Local 773, Windsor, has partnered with Local restaurant, Mezzo to give back to their community and front line workers. The initiative, described below, aims to impact over 5,000 frontline workers in the Windsor area, many of whom include doctors and nurses who may not have the time to procure or prepare a proper meal between patients. Having an individually prepared and packaged meal will help to ensure our frontline workers remained fueled during these unprecedented times. Hats off to IBEW Local 773 Business Manager, Karl Lovett and Mezzo Owner, Filip Rocca for spearheading this initiative. Deliveries are expected to begin this Friday and last for three weeks.
