The F.O.R.K. Initiative: Feed NYC's Frontlines

Donation protected
Let’s feed NYC’s frontlines.  We are people whose lives have been fueled by New York City and have been cared for by our Front Liners and First Responders.

At this time, our heroes are fighting the toughest fight to keep people alive.  We want to help the best way we know how - through food and by making sure that it nourishes, provides solace and fuels the frontliners that need it most.

How? Every week (or as soon as we hit $550), we will pool the funds, direct the order to a partner restaurant who is open and will deliver to a hard hit hospital in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens.

For $550 you can feed an entire unit of nurses, doctors and aides the only meal they would eat for their shift. You can join at any level.
$15 - feed a frontliner
$45 - feed 3
$100 - feed 6
$275 - feed half a unit
$550 - feed a whole unit (around 30-35 people)

Who are we? Friends and colleagues who are in the realm of food and community-driven social impact.
