HUNTINGTON, NY — Blue Line Deli in Huntington is helping feed those on the front lines of the new coronavirus pandemic. In an ongoing effort that began early April, free food has been sent to hospitals, first aid squads, fire houses, police stations and others who need it.

Donald Rosner, owner of the deli, has overseen the delivery of hot egg sandwiches and other grub to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola and/or Huntington Hospital on a regular basis. Around 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, roughly 200 individually-sealed meals are brought to health care workers following coordination with the hospital.

"We're trying to keep it as clean as possible, as safe as possible and try to help as much as possible," Rosner, 38, told Patch.
