Essential Eats

Essential Eats, organized by Tama-Rose Bazzle and Allison Gollin, started with just 70 emails to non-frontline families asking for help with sending food to essential personnel saving lives at Cooper University Hospital.  Brett Breslow's family has been in constant contact with the ICU staff at Cooper while the doctors and nurses treat him around the clock and we wanted to do whatever we could to help!  Due to an overwhelmingly positive response from the community, this effort has blossomed into so much more!!  Short Hills Deli in Cherry Hill, NJ has been incredible in their efforts to provide individually wrapped grab-and-go items to hospital staff (gluten free options, too!) and we could not be more thankful for their partnership with us!   We have been asked to donate food to other hospitals and essential organizations in the area, so we've started Essential Eats in an effort to reach as many essential personnel in South Jersey and (hopefully!) Philadelphia as soon as possible.  We are creating this GoFundMe to allow you to be part of our efforts and as a way of keeping you updated on where we've donated and what organizations we are helping by providing them food to nourish their souls during this difficult and unprecedented time.
