Chappy Manzer has given back to his community in several ways throughout 2020. When everything began to shut down in March, Manzer decided he couldn't just sit back and do nothing to help those around him. Manzer, a member of the Peekskill Rotary as well as the Hope for Youth Foundation, approached both organizations about helping him raise funds to feed the food insecure. They were able to raise approximately $18,000, which helped feed 3,000 people.
He then started a GoFundMe for first responders, including the police, fire, ambulance, DPW workers, and employees at the local hospital along with the local nursing homes. This effort raised nearly $25,000 and fed close to 3,600 first responders. When schools were about to start in the Fall, Manzer found that many kids in the community did not have Wi-Fi hotspots. He partnered with other business in town and raised almost $40,000 for Wi-Fi hotspots. Westchester County was so impressed with the funds they raised in this GoFundMe that they awarded Manzer and his efforts with a $50,000 grant.
