Meals for Unsung Heroes
**UPDATE 5/18** We met our Match Challenge from the Beanstalk Foundation and reached our second goal of $20K! Just this morning we received news that our campaign received a $1,500 contribution from an anonymous donor. ; ) ; ) Considering the ongoing need and a few more days, we have decided to organize a FINAL STRETCH goal of $25K by midnight on Thursday, May 21 when our campaign closes! Each and every dollar will continue to go directly to our caterers in providing meals for essential workers in the next couple of weeks. We are so grateful for each and every one of you!

WHY THIS CAMPAIGN
Going to work is now a daily act of heroism for essential workers at grocery stores, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. With no clear end date in sight for this health crisis, a morale boost for essential workers is needed and within our power to achieve. Collectively, we can show our gratitude and appreciation by delivering meals to their workplaces — providing nourishment for the body and the spirit — demonstrating that the community sees them and wants to take care of them.
The meals will be prepared by local caterers -- impassioned food entrepreneurs, who like many others, have seen their revenue streams vanish with the cancellation of all social gatherings. Purchasing meals from these local entrepreneurs will allow them to reignite their businesses to benefit those on the frontline of COVID19.
By taking care of each other, we ALL benefit. You can participate in this movement, in this moment.
WHO IS THIS CAMPAIGN FOR

2. PLEASE SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN
It’s an easy and impactful way to make a difference. Boost front-line workers' morale by letting them know they are appreciated. Support local entrepreneurs of color and keep their dream of small business ownership alive.
3. BOOKMARK CATERING WEBSITES
Follow them on social media. And best of all, hire them — hopefully in the not too distant future — when you are able to entertain your friends and family or host work gatherings.
WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO
ALL donations to this campaign will be used to purchase meals for essential workers from local caterers committed to the greater good.
HOW WILL IT WORK
Our team will order meals and arrange for deliveries to essential frontline heroes as donations come in. If we reach our goal, six caterers will each receive approximately $500 worth of orders every week for four weeks. We will extend the fundraising campaign if stay-at-home orders are extended.
