2020 Hometown Heroes

2020 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May 14, 2020 Page 171 Guest House Coffee and Pastries delivered sweet treats to the pharmacies in Lincoln on the 16th, and the Alley-Bi delivered donated lunch on Tuesday, April 21st to the Laboratory staff at ALMH. Others who have delivered food include the Blue Dog Inn and Guzzardo’s in Lincoln, the Stag R Inn in Emden and the Pizza Man in Mount Pulaski, and the list continues to grow daily. On her Facebook page, Cyrulik posts thank you notes to each and every donor and has posted a number of photos of folks in the various departments receiving their deliveries. She is also adding links to the Facebook pages of all the eateries that have participated thus far and encouraging followers to also show their love to those places through purchases for their family meals. All in all, Cyrulik said that the response was much more than even she could imagine. Her hope had been for a meal or two delivered to ALMH, but with such a huge turnout she is happy to keep up the project and provide as many meals as she has money for to those who do their job daily with little expressed gratitude from the community. Additionally, she feels that this is a “win-win” project that is helping to sustain our local eateries. And helpers have come out of the woodwork. Logan County Fair Queen Skye Kretzinger volunteered to bring food to Lincoln from Farmer’s Restaurant. Local small business owner and administrator at Castle Manor, Marcia Cook, delivered treats from Peggy’s Place to Memorial Behavioral Health. CONTINUED u
