In addition, the group has provided free snacks and sports drinks to 14 local police precincts, in partnership with the FealGood Foundation, the Retired Sergeants Association of the New York City Police Department, and the New York State Fraternal Order of Police, Nassau Police Lodge 69, and groceries have been delivered to local food pantries for distribution.

"These people are our heroes – they need to be fed and they need to be taken care of, so they can take care of us," Michael Barasch, Managing Partner of Barasch McGarry said. "In this time of need, we are proud to support first responders who have been forced to sleep in their cars and the medical providers working extended shifts to protect the public health. We owe them all an enormous debt of gratitude."
