(gentle music)

00:00:01.530 --> 00:00:03.370
- [Narrator] Breaking news
tonight on several fronts

00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:06.430
on the Coronavirus
pandemic, states and cities

00:00:06.430 --> 00:00:08.058
taking drastic measures to
enforce social distancing.

00:00:08.058 --> 00:00:10.641
(gentle music)

00:00:11.890 --> 00:00:14.710
- It's kinda like one
minute your sales rep

00:00:14.710 --> 00:00:15.860
next minute you're soldier.

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:17.930
There's like no in between.

00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:19.510
My name is Deeva Williams.

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:23.590
I'm a sales rep at a Xfinity
store in Tacoma, Washington.

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:25.330
- My name is Leriqua Jackson.

00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:28.653
I am a retail services associate
with Comcast in Houston.

00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:33.880
My unit was activated in my
hometown, Houston, Texas.

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.130
We are helping out with the food banks.

00:00:37.130 --> 00:00:39.130
We basically help package the food

00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:41.480
and we push it out into the
communities that need it.

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:44.900
And then also we're assisting
with the mobile testing sites.

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:46.780
- My unit was activated to come out

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:48.483
and work out all the food banks.

00:00:49.930 --> 00:00:51.710
So we pack all the boxes,

00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:53.870
families, they don't have to worry about

00:00:53.870 --> 00:00:56.170
where their next meal is gonna come from.

00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:58.360
Comcast gets it, soon as I got my orders,

00:00:58.360 --> 00:00:59.717
they said, "Listen, don't worry about it

00:00:59.717 --> 00:01:01.280
"tomorrow you're a soldier."

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.950
And those duties come first.

00:01:02.950 --> 00:01:06.630
- It's difficult being
away from my family.

00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:09.403
Comcast has been very supportive of me.

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:11.167
They say, "Hey, how are you?

00:01:11.167 --> 00:01:12.800
"Is there anything we can do to help?"

00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:13.960
Make sure that like my daughter

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:16.450
was still comfortable
while her mom was away.

00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:18.230
I'm so grateful to know that

00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:21.600
the company that I chose to work for

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:24.910
is supporting me now,
because it is, it gets hard.

00:01:24.910 --> 00:01:26.940
- They always call me, all of them.

00:01:26.940 --> 00:01:30.177
Like from my managers to just
the reps are always like,

00:01:30.177 --> 00:01:32.380
"Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

00:01:32.380 --> 00:01:33.915
They're literally my Comcast family.

00:01:33.915 --> 00:01:35.810
(upbeat music)

00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:38.270
It's really important that we get to see

00:01:38.270 --> 00:01:40.290
the change that we're
making in our community.

00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:42.120
I see that I'm literally helping people

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.680
who live up the street from me,

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.770
people who come into the Comcast stores.

00:01:45.770 --> 00:01:48.070
Like I get to see the
difference that I'm making.

00:01:48.070 --> 00:01:49.696
It's an awesome feeling.

00:01:49.696 --> 00:01:52.196
