Does your canteen crew aways serve hot food ?
Really nice that Wegman's & Chik-Fil-A were providing the food.
Most are probably aware of this incident and its impact by now, but if not, here you go! Also, because first responders have been out at this incident since before lunch, SVFC Canteen 611 has responded to provide food and drinks to first responders.
