Nurses and staff at AtlantiCare Medical Center in Atlantic City, Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, and Absecon Manor Nursing Home were treated to delicious meals in April and May, made possible by donations from ACS school families, students, and staff to express our love and appreciation for the health care professionals serving on the front line dealing with the coronavirus outbreak in our community.
On April 28, ACS staff members Carrie Jorgenson and Kelly Schlundt, who have spearheaded the charitable community service project, delivered pizza from Carluccio’s in Northfield to bless the nurses at the AtlantiCare Medical Center ICU in Atlantic City.
On May 28, Jorgenson and Schlundt delivered lunch from Naomi’s Cafe in Northfield for the staff at Absecon Manor Nursing Home, which includes ACS parents Gessie Polynice and Jennifer Remlein.
On May 29, Italian specialty dinners from Sal’s Coal Fired Pizza in Somers Point were delivered to say thank-you to nurses and staff at Shore Medical Center who are working in units treating COVID-19 patients. 10th grader Elizabeth Alford, who works at LevelUp Nutrition in Egg Harbor Township, also made and delivered a batch of energy drinks for the staff, accompanied by her grandmother and ACS staff member Sandy O’Brien.
Additional meal donations are planned in the future as ACS families continue to donate to show their gratitude for our local health care providers who are helping keep our community safe and well.
