members TOGETHER Clarence’s “Cozy Catering” Donates Lunches to Brothers of Mercy Caregivers On Friday, March 27 th , armed with over four boxes of food and desserts, local restaurant owner Rob Schofield, of Clarence’s “Cozy Catering”, donated lunch to an entire team of dedicated caregivers at the Brothers of Mercy Wellness Campus. Over 30 healthcare workers at Brothers of Mercy’s Sacred Heart Home enjoyed made-from-scratch wraps, sandwiches and baked goods. This supportive gesture by Rob and his team was meant to reflect just how much these caregivers are valued, especially during this difficult time. The idea came from longtime friend and former classmate of Rob’s, Tricia Asaro, who wanted to do something to help amidst the community’s continually evolving COVID-19 crisis. Rob was happy to team up with her by sharing his resources and talent to make sure Clarence’s local caregivers could eat well and know that their efforts are appreciated! Schofield, who has been in the restaurant business for over 27 years, states: “There’s been a really strong showing and outpouring of support in the WNY restaurant scene at a time when many people are looking for ways to help. It’s been great to be a part of this! We are very happy to support Brothers of Mercy.” (See “Cozy Catering” on page 71) Rob Schofield, owner of Cozy Catering, donates 30 lunches to hardworking healthcare workers at Brothers of Mercy’s Sacred Heart Home 70 Adviser a publication of LeadingAge New York | Summer 2020
