COVID-19 Frontline Support

Giving back to those who give to us.

We’re committed to supporting those who serve our communities, especially in the face of hardship.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an incredible amount of stress on all, including our local business owners and frontline responders working tirelessly day-in and day-out as the backbone of our country’s pandemic response.

Fuel the Frontline COVID-19 community initiative

The goal of our initiative was twofold – to support our local businesses and to provide comforting meals to our frontline heroes.

Meal sourcing

We purchased meals from our Select Employer Groups (SEGs) and business members in the restaurant industry, providing them with a much-needed income stream via weekly food delivery orders.

Spotlighting our hometown heroes who give back.

By partnering with FOX 5 DC for weekly “Hometown Hero” on-air segments through 2022, our Hometown Hero segments aired each Friday, June through August.

With FOX 5 DC, we helped spotlight the courage of community activists across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. In addition to highlighting their incredible achievements, we provided each with an $100 gift card for a total of $1000 gifted to our local heroes.
