It started with a text early one morning this week from my friend Eric Chaffin and his non-profit the Chaffin Luhana Foundation. He wanted to do something big to help out parents and children in the Pittsburgh area while schools are closed and money is tight. I quickly started reaching out and together we mapped out a plan.
Eric reached out to a friend. He wasted no time deciding to send nearly 3,000 pounds of deli meat from Nations Best Meat Wholesalers, Inc. in New York City. That’s enough for a lotta sandwiches!
Alright, so we’ve got the meat… but who’s gonna slice it? Someone’s gotta build these sandwiches too. This is where my friend Marc Serrao and his amazing family and employees at the Oakmont Bakery (in Oakmont, just east of Pittsburgh) are stepping up. Marc and his son Tony have organized the rest of the sandwich building process and even tapped other businesses to help with slicing the meat, providing bread and buns, lettuce, even the cheese. We’ll have more details soon on everyone who’s helping out.
