Covid Relief Campaign

Upon receiving 501c3 designation, the Palmisano Foundation jumped into action to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic with a 12-week relief effort spanning March 27th to June 26th, 2020.

“Community comes in many forms. We’re committed to building a better, healthier one for this new normal,” said Palmisano President & Floor Sweeper, Wesley Palmisano, in March. “For the next three months, the Palmisano Foundation will be partnering with local organizations who are at the forefront of the ongoing COVID-19 response work in our community.” 

The response, dubbed “Our Community Is,” included 18 giving activities and partnerships with local organizations including The Blood Center, PlayBuild, Son of a Saint, Project Butterfly, Mid City Ministries, Grow Dat Youth Farm, Liberty’s Kitchen, Second Harvest Food Bank, New Orleans Creative Response, United Way of Southeast Louisiana, HandsOn Entergy Volunteer Center, and ACE Scholarships.

These partnerships were accompanied by bi-weekly lunches purchased from local restaurants to support the local food service industry, and delivered to Palmisano’s team and trade partners on active jobsites.
