41 donations
Help us raise money to provide fresh fruit and vegetables to the NHS staff at William Harvey Hospital during the COVID-19 crisis. Now is the time to say thank you for their service and support them during the next few months. We're hoping to start at the William Harvey and cover other hospitals quickly in Kent if the fundraising allows us!
NHS Staff are taking the brunt of this virus, they are working tirelessly to try to keep us safe, with limited resources and no clear end in sight. Although some supermarkets are trying to help by allowing them in one hour early, there is still a huge shortage of produce and many are working 6/7 day weeks so are unable to get to the shops during this time. How are they supposed to continue to help us without a healthy meal and the ongoing worry about how to feed their families?
We will be working with P&I Fruit and Vegetable Boxes to supply staff with a selection of fresh produce as regularly as we can, allowing people to access a healthy meal and hopefully take some of the pressure off. So we need your help!
I am hoping that other people up and down the UK will do the same for their local NHS staff and other emergency services, so we can help support the staff through this awful time.
How will it work?
The funds raised will be split over a number of weeks and produce will be delivered to the hospital so NHS staff can access it. Obviously the more we raise, the more nurses we can feed and the more regularly we can do the delivery. We will also be working to identify more vulnerable members of the team to make sure they receive produce.
Why can't we cover other hospitals?
We're starting off with the William Harvey and are hoping to extend this quickly to other Kent hospitals if we have enough support and interest.
How much shall I donate?
Any amount is a huge help. But £20 buys a weekly vegetable or fruit box which will significantly contribute towards feeding a family.
When will the deliveries start?
We want to get the first delivery to the hospital this week, so the sooner the better!
