How are U.S. restaurants contributing to helping doctors and nurses?

A few weeks ago Taylor Lancet got a text from a number he didn't know, and on the other side there was a voice saying: “I heard he gave you food. Can we talk”. The man in question was a friend of her sister's who was a nurse in the Corleone unit at Langone Hospital [...]

The man in question was a friend of her sister who was a nurse in the Coronavirus unit at Langone Hospital in New York.

Lazy, who is the director of the Foody Dign supply, did not hesitate and told “but we have been praying to help you. How much food do we send you? Any food that hurts you?

Dig sent 20 packages of food at night and 30 the next day. Hospital employees, as well as others in nonprofit centres in service of citizens, can ask for free food from the Dig restaurant. Since mid-March, the restaurant has donated more than 75,000 packages of fresh food.

Restaurants and food companies in the US, small and large, are offering food to doctors and nurses who are at work and are unable to prepare their own food. This initiative comes as an incentive from owners, saying that we should help those who risk their lives and keep people alive.

“The Fermer frigfer” is a “carkiner” created by the Chikiago company, which has distributed about 400 cars in hospitals to feed nurses and doctors.

“Hospitals have always been the focus of the company, to carry healthy food there,” says company executive director Luke Saunders.

He says that only this week, “Fermer's Phyherfer” served 30,000 meals for health care workers. This number will increase when the company releases a similar programme at the Northwestern Hospital in Chikago in the coming weeks and hopes to expand further to other hospitals.

He said they are communicating with private donors and sponsors to collect money and expand the programme for hospitals. Collecting donations is important, but as important as preparing food is. This is where the World Centre of “Andrews” is playing a big role.

As a nonprofit organisation, it collects donations and distributes money to restaurants to buy food and cook for health workers.

Even “Sweetgree”, the restaurant network that is focused on the service of various halls, is planning to collect money to expand its “Impact Outpost”, which offered to send salads to 75 hospitals before the coronavirus even came to the U.S. “cook Sweetgreen”, Brooke Williams recently joined the charity center “Help Feed Frontline LA”. Like many other cooks, Williams is currently offering home food service, and the preparation of 350 meals was added to the medical staff.

Meanwhile, all restaurants that have participated in the “Help Feed Frontline LA” are serving 2,000 meals a day for nine local hospitals in Los Angelos. /The Washington Post
