Emergency Workers Honored At Special Breakfast Hosted By Seniors At Tribute At Melford

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Tribute at Melford, a senior living residence, held a special breakfast for county first responders recently as a way to thank them for all they do for the community.

Police officers, firefighters and EMTs along with local 911 call center employees were able to sit and share a meal with the seniors if able; others were able to grab a meal and go. The culinary team at Tribute at Melford prepared breakfast for 150 people, which included waffles, bacon, sausage, yogurt, bagels, fruit, assorted muffins and juice.

Bowie Police Chief Dwayne Preston, who attended, expressed appreciation for the breakfast and commented that it makes it easy to do their job when they have support from community members.

“We were thrilled to recognize our local first responders by providing them with breakfast," said Rita Chapman, executive director at Tribute at Melford. "We are grateful to them for all they do for the community and wanted to show them in this simple way."

The senior living community has held this event for the past few years, serving breakfast to nearly 100 first responders in the past.
