LET'S CARE FOR THEM WHILE THEY CARE FOR US! #FEEDTHEFRONTLINEAUS
With increasing demand being placed on our nurses, doctors, ward staff and crew amid this global COVID-19 pandemic, Feed The Frontline Aus aims to provide nourishment to them during this extraordinary and gruelling period.
Considering the continuous care provided by hospital staff to the community, this is a loving way to show our care for them in return. After all, food is a form of love! #foodislove
It’s also a fantastic opportunity to support food businesses, suppliers and a workforce who have been greatly impacted by the crisis. #weareallinthistogether
Feed The frontline Aus is an initiative established by the partners of two Emergency Department Nurses from Brisbane’s Mater Hospital, Melissa Coakes and Amanda Gorvin, along with Emma Coakes. Melissa’s partner Rod manages the ED Nursing Unit, where like many, he is gearing up for unprecedented times. Whilst Amanda sadly lost her husband to a brain tumour six months ago, she knows he would have been working hard alongside Rod and the team right now. Emma, a family member and friend, has joined forces to help coordinate this worthy cause.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
We are looking for donations to pay suppliers for production and delivery of safely prepared meals to hospital staff, along with a range of pre-packaged snacks and fresh fruit. We are doing this by engaging catering companies and businesses that have been impacted by the crisis and hope our initiative will not only help the frontline, but also re-establish jobs for those doing it tough.
Our current deliveries show that for as little as $7.50 you can buy a Nurse/Doctor/Clerical Staff/Ward Staff/Cleaner on the frontline a safe, professionally prepared meal or a range of snacks.
Having launched in Brisbane, we've expanded to Sydney, Newcastle, Maitland and Melbourne, and hope to quickly support other locations and states nationally, including regional and hot spot areas.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We understand it’s an extremely tough time for everyone right now, but if you can provide a donation (no matter how small), we can all play an incredibly positive part in supporting those risking their lives on the frontline to save ours.
We're calling on all Australians at this time to come together to show these amazing medical and healthcare professionals that we are here for them, and although we’re isolated in our homes, our hearts and thoughts are very much with them and the precious family and friends they treat.
If you’re a business looking to support Feed The Frontline Aus through your services, or if you’d like to volunteer and help the initiative in some other way, please email us at [email redacted]
Dig deep Australia, and let's care for them, while they care for us!
