Verizon Frontline was named the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Help Fund’s 2022
“Partner of the Year” yesterday during the non-profit
organization’s second annual awards dinner.
Verizon Frontline was presented the award for its “Food for
Frontline Workers” program which launched in New York during the
early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly became a national
program which delivered more than 150,000 meals to American workers
on the front lines of the pandemic.
“Our partnership with the EMS FDNY Help Fund on our ‘Food for
Frontline Workers’ initiative enabled us to deliver more than
25,000 meals from local restaurants to hundreds of first responders
and healthcare workers at a critical moment in the pandemic,” said
Tami Erwin, CEO, Verizon Business. “Thank you to the EMS FDNY Help
Fund for enabling us to show our gratitude for the New York first
responders on the front lines of the pandemic response and for
everything they do on behalf of emergency medical technicians and
paramedics. We are incredibly proud to have Verizon Frontline named
as the EMS FDNY Partner of the Year, and we look forward to
partnering together in the future to serve those who serve
others."
“We’re pleased to honor Verizon Frontline as Partner of the
Year,” said Lt. John McGuire, EMS FDNY Help Fund treasurer. “Among
our proudest achievements during the pandemic was partnering to
provide 25,700 meals to FDNY EMS members, who were working 16-hour
shifts from Easter Sunday to Mother’s Day in 2020. This was the
largest undertaking in the history of our young Help Fund.”
Verizon Frontline is the advanced network and technology built
for first responders – developed over three decades of partnership
with public safety officials and agencies on the front lines – to
meet their unique and evolving needs.
The EMS FDNY Help Fund is a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to ensure
the security of our Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics
and their families in the event of death, injury, illness or
hardship. https://emsfdnyhelpfund.com
