FirstBank delivered over 180 meals to Fry’s Food Stores employees at multiple Valley store locations in an effort to show appreciation to frontline essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Recent events have demonstrated just how vital essential workers are to our communities. Grocery store employees, in particular, have been somewhat of an unsung hero throughout the crisis; often working long hours, and risking their health and safety to provide needed food and supplies,” Bryce Lloyd, Phoenix market president for FirstBank, said in a prepared statement.

“This effort allows us to not only support local restaurants, but also give essential workers a small token of our gratitude.”

FirstBank tapped Shorty’s Sandwich Shop to bring its food truck to three Fry’s locations on May 8, in Phoenix, 4724 N. 20th St.; Scottsdale, 7628A E. Indian School Road; and Ahwatukee, 3949 E. Chandler Blvd.

“We are so appreciative when partners like FirstBank reach out to recognize the efforts of our dedicated associates during these unprecedented times,” Monica Garnes, president for Fry’s Food Stores, said in a prepared statement. “We know our associates appreciate the support, and we thank FirstBank for all that they do for the community.”

FirstBank is aims to support customers, communities and employees during the pandemic through an comprehensive effort to help those experiencing effects from the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to a press release.

The bank implemented a customer assistance program, support local business initiative, increased compensation for on-site employees and continued support of Arizona Gives Day and its newly created Nonprofit Emergency Relief Fund.

FirstBank has been the presenting sponsor of Arizona Gives Day since its inception in 2013, helping raise a record $6.1 million for nonprofits during this year’s campaign.
