Our mission is to offer support and meals to the front line medical staff, to help restaurants stay in business and to provide a way for people to help without leaving their homes. This group serves as a positive light amid much uncertainty, a place to connect, lift each other up and to bring hope.

The program is simple and effective. We collect donations (typically $10-20) and then pool that money together to purchase meals from local restaurants that then delivers the meals to the local hospital. It might seem like just food, but it also sends such an important message to them that we are thinking of them, we are so grateful, and that we are all in this together!

The original FLAG group was created by a partnership of Chatham and Madison NJ families and we have based this Facebook group on their successful model. Essentially, we are families pulling together to help those on the front lines as well as benefit local restaurants. It's a win-win.

Please share with your local and non-local friends and neighbors. There are already many FLAGs launching all over the country, so share the concept with your friends and family out of town, too!
