Pleasantry OTR is Delivering Meals to Emergency Department Health Care Workers and You Can Help
Neighborhood restaurant and natural wine bar Pleasantry OTR is putting together special meal packages for health care workers in local emergency rooms and ICUs. Meals cost $10 and can be purchased on their website.
Pleasantry says, "Imagine that instead of 'distancing' right now, you were leaving home each day to interact with hundreds of people who all have in common the fact that they are sick. The doctors, nurses, techs and administrators do their work with care, with professionalism, and with selflessness. But they’re not immune to anxiety and they certainly feel overwhelmed during intense times like these. Through your generosity, we would like to nourish and support these teams, to show them how appreciated they are!" As of March 28, the restaurant had donated 1,500 meals to area workers.

Our tenants occupy almost 210,000 square feet of retail space – enough to fill most of the Rookwood Pavilion in Norwood or nearly a quarter of Kenwood Towne Centre. 3CDC will ultimately forgive nearly $900,000 in rent to keep its tenants afloat.
