Help Leo through these difficult times.
Unfortunately with the closing of Leo’s Deli the esteemed business owner and a single father of four is most likely facing a lot of challenges. Let’s try to take some burden off his shoulders and help Leo out, like he helped us countless times!!

To the people of Staten Island, as many of you already know, unfortunately Leo’s deli has recently closed down due to lack of staff and severe stress from the pandemic. During his almost 10 years Leo has been a beautiful staple in the community and Leo was always there to offer a helping hand whenever someone needed it. Disastrously, when Staten Island was struck with horrible floods from hurricane Ida, there was Leo the very next day offering free food to many flood victims. Then, sadly, the pandemic started spiking up, and there again was Leo with a special food package for all medical staff. These are just two examples on a LONG list of times Leo has helped our community. You can see for yourself on FaceBook the countless shoutouts and thank you messages he has kindly received. Hence, now it’s our turn. Let’s try to help the esteemed business owner as much as we can and offer a donation to him. No amount is too small. The donations will be for Leo to pay off his debts as a result of the pandemic and the closing of his business. We all know that if we needed help Leo would be there for us. Now it’s our time to return the favor. Thank you for your generosity and may God bless you and your loved ones. Any amount is deeply appreciated and will make a big difference for Leo and his family. Below are a few pictures from warm events that took place at Leo’s Deli.
