It has been truly inspiring to share the stories we’ve come across about people and businesses doing remarkable things to support those on the front lines. In this Feel Good Friday series, we highlight how appreciation comes in all shapes and sizes, starting with one very creative kid who set up his refreshment stand for delivery drivers.
5-year-old Jack Mahar from Niskayuna, New York, set up a “refreshment stop” to show appreciation for FedEx and UPS drivers. Jack has always had a huge admiration for truckers, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he saw how essential and hard-working they are, he wanted to give back to them in a way that would keep them trucking and lift their spirits.
Jack and his mother set up a refreshment stand stocked with snacks, energy drinks, and even homemade cupcakes to hand out to the drivers. The drivers repaid the favor as well by letting Jack see the back of trucks and take pictures together (while practicing social distancing). This is the type of support essential workers everywhere need to keep going. A simple act can go a long way in the eyes of these workers and helps keep their morale high as they fulfill their job responsibilities.
We’ve been seeing plenty of types of relief for essential workers lately, and seeing the resiliency of people has helped us all focus on our strengths. We can all lift each other up with simple acts of kindness here and there and get through the difficult times of today’s world. Especially for truckers and delivery truckers everywhere, we show our thanks every day to these brave men and women on the frontlines, keeping goods moving.
