United Airlines Workers Come to the Rescue of Houston Families Left Hungry by Coronavirus
April 27, 2020
Mark Zessin specializes in making sure luggage gets where it needs to go. When the coronavirus hit, he turned that talent into helping to feed those left unemployed in Houston.
Zessin led an effort to turn part of United Airlines' cargo facility at George Bush Intercontinental Airport into a production line to create food boxes to help feed families left broke by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pallets of canned meats, produce of all kinds – even, on occasion, a little candy for the kids – arrives and the workers divide it all into boxes for distribution by the Houston Food Bank.
