A quartet of Philadelphia-based companies hits the road starting Friday, Nov. 9, to deliver boxed lunches to shelters, work crews and anyone else in need in some of the towns worst-hit by the storm. The program is called Philly Cares.
"We need to know which people need help the most, so any organization or work crew or neighborhood group helping in the clean-up, or any shelters housing victims, please let us know where you are and how many people need lunches, and we will work hard to schedule a stop for you starting Friday the 9th," said Louis Eni, Dietz & Watson President & CEO. "Lots of us at Dietz & Watson live in the areas hardest hit, so we want to do what we can to make things easier and more comfortable for those helping with the clean-up - and a big part of that is keeping people fed with fresh and nutritious food.

"Anyone that needs help, send an email to SandyLunches@DietzAndWatson.com with details of your request and we will get back to you as soon as possible and schedule a drop-off time. Truthfully, we don't know how much response we will receive, but we will do as much as we can in the time allotted to satisfy requests," added Eni.
The Philly Cares partners have agreed to put together 7,500 lunch packages at press time. One thousand will be ready by Nov. 9, and Dietz & Watson vehicles will hit the road with these.
The boxed lunches will include a variety of Dietz & Watson wraps with turkey, roast beef or ham, a bag of Herr's chips, a Wawa iced tea beverage and a Tastykake dessert. Packages being made next week will include apple and grape snack packs, also courtesy of Wawa.
