Daniel Jones, Golden Tate deliver message of support for first responders

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones and WR Golden Tate shared messages of support to first responders amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday, the New York Giants revealed that they will fund a childcare program that will be free for emergency responders for the next 10 weeks at the Meadowlands YMCA as they continue to battle the global coronavirus pandemic.

“Our staff is well-organized and well-trained to manage in this situation and is complying with the State and County Departments of Health’s standards in their health safety protocols,” says David Kisselback, President and CEO of the Meadowlands YMCA. “While we are cognizant of the CDC and other guidelines being issued to limit social gatherings, we also are committed to our mission of supporting the community, and our daycare program, food distribution programs, blood drives and education support programming are all being administered with the greatest of care.”

Shortly after the announcement regarding the childcare program, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Golden Tate appeared in a short series of videos thanking all first responders and medical personnel.

“As we go through such a difficult and trying time across our country and our communities, I’d like to sincerely thank all the health care workers and first responders who are out on the front lines fighting this virus,” Jones said. “Challenging times bring out the best in so many and you all have risen to the occasion. Thank you so much for all you do.”

“We’re so thankful that while we’re all stuck at home, you guys are out there trying to help others save lives. And I just want you to know it’s not going un(noticed),” Tate said. “God bless to everyone out there who is affected.”

In addition to the above video message, Tate has also been running a program through his Golden Future Foundation that aims to help military families impacted by the coronavirus.
