Supporting Local Hospital Staff & Francis Wilson

With the COVID-19 pandemic still spreading and the work-from-home / quarantine restrictions looming, I thought to myself, what can we do to help our local healthcare providers on the frontlines in this time of crisis? 

In short, Food.

The local DMV healthcare staff has to stay well-fed and well supported while they continue to work full-time shifts during the pandemic outbreak.

**All proceeds from this GoFundMe will be utilized for the food purchases being donated to local DMV hospitals.**

I've had conversations with local chefs and restaurant owners (listed in the links below) within the DMV in order to provide pricing estimates for different varieties of individually packaged and plated meals.

Per hospital, we are currently looking at feeding about, 40-50 healthcare staff at a cost of between $800-1,000 per hospital ($20 per head conservatively) between night and day shifts.


I have close friends and past clients who are nurses and physicians at the following major hospitals that have agreed to pick up any donated food and deliver it for us to the hospitals with a signed card from all sponsors involved.


The hospital staff have agreed to take pictures, tag any sponsoring businesses on social media, and thank those involved for their support in this time of crisis.


Here are the following hospitals that have been fed so far:
 
Friday (3/27) and Saturday (3/28):
