Celtics launch program to support local restaurants, frontline workers

The Boston Celtics have teamed up with Vistaprint to buy food from local restaurants to support local COVID-19 frontline workers.

The Boston Celtics have announced a new community outreach program to support both local restaurants struggling since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the frontline workers keeping us healthy and safe in it.

The initiative, called Food for Heroes, is overseen by the team’s Shamrock Foundation, and is working in conjunction with Vistaprint online printers. It will deliver food from local restaurants to local frontline workers in a bid to help both in these trying times.

From the team’s webpage on the initiative:

“As part of the program, Vistaprint will join the Celtics in purchasing food from eight small businesses owned by Celtics’ Season Ticket Members. The meals will be prepared by STM businesses and delivered to frontline essential workers and those most impacted throughout their respective communities during this COVID-19 pandemic.”

The site also lists the a few of the participating restaurants, which include AJ’s Kitchen of Wilmington, MA and The Establishment of North Chelmsford, MA; presumably, the other six will be revealed at a later date.
