*************************
3/24 - We crossed $3,000! THANK YOU!!
 
And 6 deliveries of fresh fruit were made to NYC hospitals!!

Yesterday morning, delivered two deliveries of bagels and coffee to two hospitals.

I was also contacted by a representative from a group from one of the largest hospitals in NYC about a partnership after they saw this GoFundme -- the success of which is all because of you!

Let's keep going!

3/23 Update - We have crossed $2,000! Thank you! And we have a new profile pic from some of the amazing staff at a NYC ED.

Keep checking here and/or follow @coffeetothefrontlines for updates.

We're currently up to 9 hospital deliveries in total across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island and NJ. 
More updates tomorrow, including deliveries to all five boroughs!

3/22 Update - We are approaching $1,800 in donations!! Thank you so much. 

Food, coffee and snacks have now been donated to four tristate hospitals. Two in Brooklyn, one in Manhattan and one in New Jersey. Today will be more deliveries and research for other hospitals and local eateries in the area. 

EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON at every hospital and every eatery has been absolutely amazing. Just so, so wonderful. 

Thank you so much for giving and helping out these heroes on the front lines and the folks supporting them!

More updates to come. 

Also,  I started an @coffeetothefrontlines on Instagram and [email redacted].
Only the same coffee photo for now but more to come once I take 5 for that bit today.  :)

One of my dearest friends and her husband work in an NYC ER. I asked her how I could help after seeing a pizzeria delivering pizzas to local hospitals in the fight of COVID-19 which has just begun here. I will be sending coffee and sandwiches to a local NYC Hospital Emergency Department this evening, 3/20, for the 7pm shift change. 

And I will be ordering breakfast platters with coffee, etc for the 7am shift change tomorrow. 
With your help, I am looking to send more coffee and food to other local hospitals, New York, New Jersey and beyond, for the amazing staffs that are on the front lines of COVID-19 while also supporting as many local eateries as possible. 

Every cent (minus GoFundMe's processing fee) is going to go towards feeding healthcare workers via local eateries and small businesses and tipping delivery persons unless I am making the delivery myself. Note - I do not tip myself, I put that money back into the restaurant through a direct tip or more orders.  

I will be the beneficiary of these funds. I am paying for all of these orders out of pocket (so these places get paid immediately) and will be using the GoFundMe funds to reimburse myself solely for what has been spent at local eateries and small businesses in relation to this project. And I will only reimburse myself for payments that have been posted (not if they are pending).

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

I will post any updates that I get.

Thank you for reading this and be well!
