Meal Prep & Delivery for quarantined Munson Staff
Donation protected
Hello Northern Michigan community,
My friend is an ER nurse at Munson in TC. We've been in touch the past few weeks discussing ways to support her and her colleagues during the battle with COVID-19.
Tonight she reached out with an ask - as Munson staff need to quarantine away from their families between shifts,
she and her colleagues have worked out a place to stay near hospital grounds.
One big need they will have is regular meal delivery and she asked me to organize that.
So I reached out to my buddies Jennifer Blakeslee and Eric Patterson at The Cooks House because I want this food to be DELICIOUS, locally sourced and nourishing. They didn't hesitate with their enthusiastic yes, and are planning with the team to make meals for our healthcare heroes! Thank you Cooks House!
Jen, Eric & the team will do all the labor of meal prep at no charge and a team of volunteers will do delivery.
My job and my ask for you is - lets raise the money to cover the cost of ingredients, along with the cost of some easy no cook breakfast options like yogurt, bagels, fruit etc. (at my ER nurse friend's request.)
In full transparency, my ER nurse friend and I don't know how many folks will end up needing this food in quarantine, which means I am totally guessing at the initial cost. Will adjust as we go. If we need more we will ask for more.
Can you give? Every dollar will go to these meals other than the percentage GoFundMe takes for the crowdsourcing platform.
Let's take as good of care of our healthcare staff as they are taking care of us as a community during this time.
All together now. Let's do this!
