No one works harder during the holiday season than delivery drivers. One San Jose family wants to make sure they know their hard work is appreciated.
Like many home healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Anna Acol-Acol found herself out of a job. Anna started a mail-order business inside her home and had delivery drivers coming every day. With their daily visits, she began to realize the dedication and hard work they put forth.
"I come from a poor country, right? Which is the Philippines, so I know struggle,” said Anna. “I know they have a family because they are working so hard. One time I talked to them, 'Oh it was 7:30 and you're still,' and she said, 'I'm working until 9 o'clock."Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
So, this holiday season, Anna has been setting up a waist-high bookshelf on her front porch packed to the brim with cookies, chips and soda – easily portable items for drivers to enjoy while making their rounds. Anna wants them to know how grateful she is for all their hard work. “Every day and especially now with this holiday, I've been seeing these people lifting heavy boxes, carrying more than 10 or 20 boxes,” said Anna.
Without their services, Anna wouldn’t be able to run a business, but it’s also in recognition of the added stress and workload they receive from the holidays.
