Two local businesses stepped up during the pandemic by preparing food for volunteers and food distribution to Lynn residents. George Markos of Brother’s Deli and Thaer Demaidi of Alfredo’s Italian Kitchen immediately rushed into action. “Three shifts of volunteers were working everyday at the Salvation Army facility and people working throughout the city. Because of their efforts, these two businessmen prepared food for the volunteers during the entire period at every shift”, stated Council President Darren Cyr.
Ward 6 Councilor Fred Hogan said, “Thaer Demaidi is always helping out. When tragedies occur in Ward 6 or anyplace in the city, he would call or text me if I needed anything. Thaer would deliver food to the firefighters, police, and families in need. He has constantly stepped up and we are honored to have Alfredo’s Italian Kitchen in Lynn.”
The City of Lynn and the City Council recognized George Markos and Thaer Demaidi for their care and commitment to the Lynn community.
