Lynbrook resident Erik Merkle decided to give back to front-line workers and those in need of support during the coronavirus pandemic.
Merkle, who works as a field consultant for the 7-Eleven Corporation, worked with employees at three stores he oversees -- in Oceanside, West Hempstead and Lynbrook -- to donate 100 bagged lunches to health care workers. The meals were delivered to Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside and Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre.
