“These people are our heroes – they need to be fed and they need to be taken care of, so they can take care of us,” said Michael Barasch, managing partner of Barasch McGarry. “In this time of need, we are proud to support first responders who have been forced to sleep in their cars and the medical providers working extended shifts to protect the public health. We owe them all an enormous debt of gratitude.”
