Tropical Financial Supports Local Health Care Workers Fighting COVID -19
April 17, 2020
Miramar, Fla. (April 16, 2020)— South Florida-based Tropical Financial Credit Union teamed up with other corporate partners and a local nonprofit to buy meals for more than 270 health care workers at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, Florida who are on the front lines fighting COVID-19 .
The group worked with Exquisite Catering by Robert which delivered fresh, individually prepared pasta dishes for two different shifts of medical workers as a way to say ‘Thank you’ for all they are doing. The nurses, therapists and staff thanked the credit union right back with some homemade signs demonstrating their gratitude.
“These health care heroes are working around the clock risking their own lives to try and save people with the coronavirus,” said Richard Helber, president/CEO at Tropical Financial Credit Union. “We were honored to give back to them in a small way and show our appreciation for all they are doing.”
The Dellenbach Foundation and agents from the Weston office of One Sotheby’s International Realty also pitched in to help underwrite the cost of the meals.
