Gratitude for Eddie's Employees

Every day throughout this crisis, I find myself grateful for Eddie's. I am so relieved that it is in walking distance, that I don't have to hazard a larger more crowded grocery store, and that they are clearly taking precautions to keep us all safe. I'm also grateful for the kindness of the staff who are most likely living in  fear of contracting Covid 19 on a daily basis.
I know that many in the community feel the same way that I do and, for that reason, I've started this fundraiser with the assistance of Eddie's management so that we can share our gratitude with those employees that are there for us every day.
Eddie's has assured me that any money raised will be distributed evenly to employees of both the Roland Ave. and Charles St. stores. Many employees work between both of these locations, especially during this unpredictable time.  They have sent us this message:

“We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of support and gratitude on behalf the Eddie’s of Roland Park employees. We may be two stores, but we are one team, and our dedicated staff has risen to the call, with many employees picking up additional shifts or assisting at both locations in order to fulfill customer demand. All monies collected through this fundraiser will be divided equally between the staff of both stores. We are confident that the employees and their families will appreciate any funds generated by the community in recognition of their efforts.”

– Michael Schaffer, Vice President, Eddie’s of Roland Park


Thanks again to all of you who have expressed an interest in participating. In the great words of Coretta Scott King:

"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate action of it's members."

Stay safe and healthy!
