As we face the Coronavirus epidemic, it is important to support the front lines of the battle against COVID-19.

“Through the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Foundation we have raised money to deliver food to Exer Urgent Care in East Pasadena and have arranged for some of our local restaurants to provide take-out for Critical Care Workers assisting COVID-19 patients at Huntington Hospital,” said Pasadena Chamber CEO Paul Little. “We are happy to do a little something for the healthcare workers who are do so much to keep us all safe and healthy.”

Recently, Pasadena Sandwich Company and Raffi’s Catering and Banquet in East Pasadena began delivering food to Exer Urgent Care.

Exer works with Huntington Hospital to relieve the strain on emergency room personnel by providing non-life threatening urgent care services. This weekend Food for First responders is beginning the take-out program for Huntington Hospital’s critical care workers in Partnership with Parkway Grill, Mijares Mexican Restaurant, Mi Piace, Green Street Restaurant, El Portal Mexican Restaurant and Bistro 45.

“People and organizations in the Pasadena area are incredibly generous,” Little said. “They want to provide help and support for the people doing the front line work and this was one way they could help. They also want to support our local restaurants as they struggle to remain open. We’re very grateful to all the donors and will continue the effort until the Safer at Home orders are lifted and our critical care workers and first responders are no longer dealing with Coronavirus patients.”
