safety provided lunch for 300 poll workers counting votes for the ongoing United States presidential election at the Philadelphia Convention Center on Friday, per ESPN's Tim McManus.
The meals were purchased at Keven Parker Soul Food Cafe in Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market through the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. Parker, a restaurant entrepreneur, also owns Ms. Tootsie’s Restaurant Bar Lounge in Philadelphia.
Jenkins, who played with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2014-2019 and won Super Bowl LII to cap the 2017 season, provided the following statement:
"Covid-19 has made us aware of the importance of essential workers, and as we try to hold the election in the middle of a pandemic, those who are doing the job of counting votes are essential to our democracy.
