Oh great, terrific,
As a matter of fact this morning, where we are visiting,
is God's Love We Deliver,
it's down here on the edge of SoHo,
well Little Italy is down the street here,
and we're going to take you inside just a little bit
and show you the folks inside already working
to deliver meals to homebound AIDS patients,
people who have HIV who are not able to cook for themselves
or to help themselves in that way,
and they provide nutritious meals and guidance
for these folks and they have been helping thousands of people
throughout the, since 1985 when it started.
We'll come back and tell you more about it
and show you what's going on and put me to work.
It's time to check in with Storm.
Well, it looks like he's loose right now in somebody's kitchen.
That's right,
I am in the kitchen of God's Love We Deliver.
These are some 2,500 volunteers working together
to provide help for homebound victims of HIV,
AIDS patients, people who who are dealing with the problem
but are also unable to get out and shop for food
to make food for themselves, so this organization,
since 1985 has been dedicated to developing and
providing them with menus and with food -
you can see some of the things that are being provided today,
we're going to tell you more about it.
They're actually putting me to work today.
Good morning Cindy, good morning Steve,
good morning everyone!
We're here in the kitchens of God's Love We Deliver.
Take a look over here.
Lizzy is in charge of the special foods for clients who
cannot eat the regular food that they prepare here
for most of their clients' specialty foods.
This is a large, large vegetable dish that she's making.
This is more than we normally...
...more than I see in my house!
Well the latest on the traffic I mean,
right now with Eileen Marchesi Cohen
in a quiet morning thus far - still that way, Eileen?
No Storm, it's not!
Let's go to Storm Field, who is in the kitchen. Good morning, Storm.
Good morning, Cindy. Good morning, Steve.
Good morning, everyone!
We're in the kitchens of God's Love We Deliver.
It's a group that's dedicated to providing food and
nutritional service to those who are unable
to provide for themselves - folks who are homebound,
unable to shop for themselves, cook their own foods.
People who have, their clients mostly have,
are HIV victims, HIV clients is what I like to call them.
What they're doing right here is putting together
some soup that is going to be part of the package
of food that's delivered to
the folks at home and take a look at this,
this is fascinating, in the kitchen throughout
there are these tiles with names on them
and some of them have hearts on it?
Some of them are just the names themselves.
These are for donations,
these are in memory of someone who has passed away
because of AIDS, and all of these are covering the
piles and islands that are holding up the entire building,
so in effect the donations and the memory
of all these people are supporting the entire building,
the entire group of God's Love We Deliver.
It's really quite nice. You can actually buy a tile
if you like for $250, which is quite reasonable.
In the next, you'll probably see me doing some work
because Michael McCarthy, the executive chef here
has decided that as long as I'm here
and dressed appropriately I have to go to work.
Latest on our traffic which, as always
these mornings seems to be getting worse as the hours go along,
Elieen Marchesi calling - Eileen?
Thank you Storm.
Time to check trapping weather together on the tooth.
You smell something good?
I do! I think Storm's cooking!
I think he's in the kitchen again!
Yeah, try we're hearing God's Love We Deliver
down in the SoHo area where every morning
every day from
early in the morning till late at night
volunteers are in here providing and
preparing meals for people, the clients, who have HIV
and are unable to get out themselves
and make food for themselves and nutritious meals.
This is applesauce and it is...
...too bad you don't have Smell-O-Vision,
as Nick can show you it is beautiful.
This is all homemade,
and over here, also applesauce,
but this applesauce is just a little bit different.
You know, there are a number of people who have HIV
who are unable to eat a, a standard diet,
and need something special,
and Liz Borden is the special chef
who provides those meals and kind of makes something up
extra special for them to,
provide to their needs,
or weather, we're going to tell you more about God's Love We Deliver.
Let's talk about weather right now
That's the latest on that. I know traffic seems to be
getting worse and worse. Eileen Marchesi Cohen
with maybe some good news, Eileen?
Please!
Okay, a little bit of good news.
Let's start things out with Storm.
Now Storm, Cindy's gonna go to the US Open later on today,
she wants to know what she should wear.
Preferably not something like what you've got on right now.
I think this is a very fashionable look for the US Open!
I think
anything with this logo on is fashionable.
We throw that in there.
Uh, I'm gonna be cooking here at God's Love We Deliver
Later we're making some vegetables,
sauteing a whole bunch. Thank you.
I'll tell you, you think canoeing is good exercise?
This will get you some exercise!
We're putting this together.
These meals are not only for folks, clients who have
HIV, but also if they have children
and they're unable to prepare meals for them,
this group also provides there
and if you think like you want maybe
you wanna volunteer and help out here
in a group like God's Love We Deliver,
we're gonna give you all the information on that
a little bit later - right now, Eileen Marchesi Cohen's
music is playing in my ear.
And let's check out Storm Field!
What's it like out there Storm?
Hey, good morning there Cindy. Good morning, Steve.
We're at God's Love We Deliver, the kitchen's, uh,
big at work, we're cutting out carrots right now.
I'm with Trudy and Ken and Katie and Adrian over there,
all preparing, part of the
450 people who show up here to volunteer every week
to help prepare meals for homebound HIV clients.
Let's take a look at our weather!
That's coming Katie,
no looking at the TV, we gotta get these carrots going.
Trudy, you're doing fabulously,
I gotta cut up some more carrots for Trudy.
I'll have more over here from God's Love We Deliver
a little bit later.
Now, let's go to Eileen with the latest in traffic.
Now Steve Doocy,
Cindy Shu,
and Storm Field with weather.
This is 2 News this morning.
Let's start things out with Storm.
Well, I'm on cilantro patrol now, Steve, Cindy,
and the only way to get these leaves off is to pluck it by hand.
Trudy is again leading the lead.
She's got the fastest fingers, you cannot believe it!
In real life, an artist. We have a creative director
from Saatchi and Saatchi, Katie.
Adrian has actually started her own business.
What's the name of it, Adrian?
The Bow-Wow Bakery.
She's baking things for dogs, and Ken
just peels cilantro and cuts carrots full time.
Great guy!
Got some soup here for 760 people
we're gonna be telling you more about
God's Love We Deliver a little bit later,
Brian here stirring up the soup.
This is 760 portions of soup!
Nothing small in this, Brian.
Going to be back with more information
about God's Love We Deliver, and the weather!
Now let's check on the traffic with Eileen Marchesi Cohen.
Good morning, Storm!
Good morning, Cindy. Good morning, Steve
I'm here on the assembly line,
actually putting together some meals.
This morning is pork and potatoes and some delicious
apple sauce, and again, I'm joined by
volunteers that come in here every single morning
to help provide meals for folks here at
God's Love We Deliver.
Well, we'll continue to put out the meals here
at God's Love We Deliver, we're gonna tell you
more about that a little bit later,
and introduce you to the executive chef
and the director of the organization.
Let's check with the traffic conditions with Eileen Marchesi Cohen.
And let's start with Storm. Good morning, Storm!
I feel like the captain of a of a rowing team here.
We've got people down at this end
ladling the soup in, then it's shaken, not stirred
and your Tupperware party,
it goes on down the line and then passed on to
the guys at the end who are stacking it into
these containers and then it goes on its way
out to the trucks, ready to be delivered
to the folks who need it.
We're in the kitchens of God's Love We Deliver
and the whole idea is to help people
who need the help, need the good nutrition to keep going.
Outside right now are -
So three storms we have to watch.
Traffic now, latest from Eileeen Marchesi Cohen.
Eileen?
Thank you, Storm.
Let's get a Storm who's in the kitchen with
God's Love We Deliver.
That's right, Cindy, Steve, and it has been a fabulous morning.
You know, it's unusual but folks here still packing up
the soup getting ready to go out to those who need it.
This is one of those things where people don't mind
getting up early in the morning. It makes them feel good,
alive to be able to help others.
It's great!
If you would like to be one of the volunteers,
here's the number to call: 212-294-8100.
Trust me,
you won't be sorry about this.
All you need is a commitment of three hours a week.
You can spare that.
So enjoy it, bring lots of sunscreen with you.
Latest on the traffic, Eileen Marchesi Cohen.
