The Meijer employees (all donning masks) listened closely Tuesday afternoon.
A representative of the Detroit Pistons moved forward and raised an electronic tablet bearing a shout-out to workers.
Socially distancing workers probably struggled to hear the recorded well-wishes from Detroit Pistons guard Langston Galloway.
But with Hooper posing with workers right after selecting new kicks donated by the Langston Galloway Foundation and Samaritan’s Feet, the message of thanks was well-received.
The giveaway for Meijer employees – workers essential for consumers stocking home refrigerators and cabinets during the COVID-19 pandemic – was possible through the efforts of Galloway and his wife, Sabrina.
