COVID-19 Heroes: Fort Hood Thanks Team for Hard Work

Surprise luncheons greeted Fort Hood associates, who were honored by managers for their work during COVID-19.

Associates at the Fort Hood Exchange are continuing to come into work and take care of shoppers while dealing with the heightened stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic, and managers wanted to let them know that their dedication is noticed.

“The managers felt like we needed to do something to let associates know how much we appreciate them,” said Fort Hood Exchange Store Manager Samantha Davis.

Associates received a surprise thank-you lunch bag that consisted of two sandwiches from the Exchange Burger King, a bag of chips, a disinfectant wipe and a thank-you note.

“Even though it was just a small gesture, the associates were very grateful,” Davis said. “Some even mentioned that it’s been hard to find meat in their grocery stores lately, so it was a relief to have one meal taken care of.”
