Choptank Transport’s ‘We Are One’ Program and Community Foundation Charity Help Local Businesses during COVID-19 Pandemic
Choptank Transport announced today the implementation of an initiative to help both employees and local businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. With a large percentage of the company’s staff now working remotely, Choptank is giving each employee $100 to spend at their favorite eateries within 50 miles of their workspaces. Choptank has more than 400 employees, which means it will infuse more than $40,000 into its local economies through restaurants, coffee shops, and other food establishments.
“We know this is a stressful time for everyone,” said Choptank’s President & CEO, Geoff Turner. “Our employees are doing a Herculean job of keeping America’s freight moving under less than ideal circumstances. This is a way of saying thank you to them while also helping mitigate some of the crushing economic effects to our local business community.”
