Manny's Deli Owner Feeds Health Care Workers: Deerfield Hero

DEERFIELD, IL — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Linda Trytek, of Deerfield, who nominated Danny Raskin, of Deerfield:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Owner of Manny’s Deli, Chicago

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Danny has been feeding health care workers routinely during the pandemic when his restaurant and catering business had to change to curbside pick-up. He has also set up delivery spots in the North, South and West suburbs to keep his amazing staff employed. He is an unsung hero.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
He has an enormous, kind, generous heart!

Past Deerfield Heroes:

• 12-Year-Old Sews Caps For Nurses
• 13-year-old Creates Safety Shields
