Woman Who Helped Feed Front-Line Workers: E. Northport Local Hero

EAST NORTHPORT, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Koko, who nominated Christine at Bagelport in East Northport.

Name:
Christine at Bagelport E. Northport NY

State:
NY

Hometown:
Northport

Hero's job:
Business

Relationship to nominee:
Neighbor

Reason for recognition:
In March and April, the worst time the COVID-19 pandemic hit our community, she supported doctors and nurses and other health care providers at Huntington Hospital by preparing bagels and omelets so they didn't feel hungry and can focus on our loved ones.

One thing to know:
She prepared 20 foods, not only from breakfast menu, but also from lunch menu every morning by 6:15 a.m. so I can pick up on the way to work. She gave special discount prices.

Thank you for all you do, Christine!
