Fidelity Investments Donates Meal To Joseph’s Home Staff in Appreciation for Work on the Front Lines of Covid-19 Crisis

Fidelity Investments donated a meal to the Joseph’s Home staff, tirelessly working to care for the vulnerable, medically fragile men experiencing homelessness.

“The Joseph’s Home team has been working on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis to protect the health of our residents and continue their journey on a path toward self-sufficiency,” said Beth Graham, executive director of Joseph’s Home.  “I am grateful for our team’s unwavering commitment to our men, despite the challenges of quarantines, heightened family responsibilities and working remotely.”

Fidelity recently began providing meals to thank frontline staff members for all the work addressing the Covid-19 virus. “This is a small gesture of thanks on behalf of Fidelity for all of the tireless work staff are providing to help support individuals during this unprecedented time,” said Jim Stair, Vice President, Managing Director of Fidelity Investments.

Joseph’s Home is the only short-term medical respite facility in Northeast Ohio exclusively focused on providing medically fragile homeless men the opportunity to access quality care provided by licensed clinicians, nutritious meals and other supportive services, with the goal of helping residents transition into permanent housing. Joseph’s Homes’ medical respite model fills a service gap between hospitals and shelters by providing care to those experiencing homelessness and who are ready to be discharged from the hospital, but are too frail to recover on the streets or in other shelters.

Joseph’s Home residents and alumni are among the populations considered at high risk of complications from COVID-19. While Joseph’s Home staff have implemented increased disinfecting policies and heightened personal hygiene practices, it is challenging to maintain such cleanliness in a residential facility with individuals relearning best personal hygiene practices.
