During this time of the Covid slowdown, one of our employees, who I am sure wants to remain anonymous has generously shopped and donated food items for his fellow staff members at MPT. With his surprise delivery, he invited employees to fill up a few bags for their families and anything left over would be donated to a food bank. This happened more than once over the past weeks.
We appreciate his thoughtfulness for others who may have been impacted by decreased work hours.
