Advance America Employees Unite to Bring Cheer (And Snacks) to Frontline Workers
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., October 6, 2020 (Newswire.com) - With the onset of COVID-19, communities across America found themselves upended by a pandemic, with many people experiencing hardship from job loss or illness. This has also led to people coming together to help one another, such as the healthcare and other frontline workers that came forward as leaders in these difficult times.
In recognition and appreciation of the sacrifices that these workers have made to help keep communities healthy, Advance America employees showed their support and donated much-needed supplies to frontline workers in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palatka and Gainesville, Florida.
