TOPS PARTNERS WITH NCCC CLASS OF 2020 AS THEY “CHIP” IN TO SWEETEN THE DAY OF LOCAL HEROES
MEDIA ADVISORY NCCC Class of 2020 “chips” in to sweeten the day of local heroes

WHAT: Students at Niagara County Community College (NCCC) are still adjusting to a new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual learning has replaced in-person instruction and plans for major milestones like commencement are being postponed in order to keep the community safe and healthy. The typical celebratory feeling surrounding the end of the college semester has a different vibe this year, but NCCC’s Class of 2020 is not letting this pandemic dampen their spirits. Graduates are finding new ways to come together and share joy with others through social media posts, virtual concerts, live cooking demonstrations, and most recently by way of a sweet offering to healthcare heroes, volunteers and first responders in the area. In an effort coordinated by NCCC’s class of 2020, 18,000 custom cookies are being made and packaged through a partnership with Tops Friendly Markets. The cookies will be distributed by Niagara County Sheriff deputies to local hospitals, nursing homes, firehouses, EMT services, the Niagara County Health Department and police stations in Niagara County as a small gesture of gratitude.

WHO: Cookies will be dropped off at Mt. St. Mary’s Hospital in Lewiston by Niagara County Sheriff deputies, and received by hospital personnel. A rep from the NCCC Class of 2020 will be on hand for the donation.

WHEN: Monday, April 27, 2020 10:00 AM WHERE: Mt. St. Mary’s Hospital (Photos will be taken IN FRONT of hospital near tents) 5300 Military Road Lewiston, NY 14092 Use Main entrance off Military Road. Photos will be taken on pavement, near statue of St. Mary, in front of Hospital, near tents.
