As a thank-you for their work over the last year during the pandemic and to mark National Random Acts of Kindness Day, Wednesday Feb. 17, AAA employees are delivering more than 200 boxes of snacks and free AAA memberships to several area hospitals. Photo opportunities will be available, especially at Milford Hospital where the hospital is celebrating its Centennial Anniversary.
The delivery schedule is:
- Milford Hospital loading dock on Bridgeport Avenue, near Seaside Avenue, Milford at 9 am.
- Bridgeport Hospital loading dock on Central Avenue, between Boston Avenue & Grant Street, Bridgeport, at 11 am.
- VA Hospital, 330 Campbell Ave., West Haven, near the handicapped parking lot at 1:30 pm
- NOTE: Griffin Hospital deliveries will be made Friday, Feb. 19 at 11:30 to 130 Division St., Derby.
“This is our way of recognizing healthcare workers, who have been the strain of the pandemic for more than a year,” said Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast spokeswoman. “AAA supports these ‘heroes – whether it means giving them snacks to recharge on the job or roadside assistance when their car batteries need to be recharged.”
To deliver the gift boxes and memberships, AAA employees will drive the deliveries in a AAA battery van, displaying a “Thank You to Our Healthcare Workers” message. They will meet respective hospital representatives to unload deliveries from the van.
