News of Alumni: Vince Carbone ’90
Vince Carbone '90 owns a Subway franchise restaurant in Ashburn, Virginia. When the pandemic reached his community, Vince--like many small business owners--was forced to close his restaurant's doors.
In an attempt to stay afloat, Vince started taking virtual orders and doing local, no-contact deliveries. That was when friends and community members began to ask what they could do to help. Donations began to trickle in and Vince decided to put that money towards delivering meals to those who needed them most.

Donations began to trickle in and Vince decided to put that money towards delivering meals to those who needed them most.
Vince made connections with local hospitals, and set up a program where, for $6.50, people could buy a meal and Vince would deliver it to a local hospital to give to a doctor or nurse.
“We’re close to 1,000 meals served already and my goal is to do 5,000 meals. But I hope by the time we hit that goal we don’t have to bring meals to anybody anymore,” said Vince.
