Feed-ERs - Sending meals to our hospital heroes!
Donation protected
Our goal is to feed as many hospital ER and ICU employees across Southern California as we can until we get the all-clear on the COVID-19 crisis. That costs $300 to $1600 per meal, depending on the number of workers on a shift. With your help, we hope to hit ER after ER to show our gratitude and give them nourishment. We are also supporting local, independently owned restaurants in each community. Please help us get it done.
You can follow us for updates on Facebook (FeedingERs), Twitter (@FeedingErs), and Instagram (feed.ers).
This fundraiser, this food, is for the people who are risking their lives to save ours: custodians, orderlies, lift teams, respiratory therapists, nurses, doctors, all of them, every day. Many have left their own families in order to be on the frontline. They are scared. They are exhausted. They are hungry.
We can’t thank them enough. But we can at least feed them: One ER and ICU at a time, one good meal at a time, to show them we see their sacrifice and are so thankful.
Feed-ERs, aptly enough, was launched spur of the moment on March 24 at my kitchen table. I thought: slammed ERs, struggling restaurants, here's a way to help them both. Within days the first meal had gone out. Then a second, and a third...
Suddenly what started as a small thing seemed to want to be a big thing.
Some background on me you might want. My name is Lynda Gorov, I was a journalist for a lot of years. Still write and edit. I'm the single mom of a 12th grader stuck finishing high school at home as we shelter in place. Live in West Los Angeles but I am Chicago born and raised and the City of Big Shoulders to my core.
Be assured that every penny donated will be paid to locally owned restaurants (with generous tips to kitchen staff and delivery drivers!). The meals that money buys will go directly to the hard-working heroes in our emergency rooms and ICUS.
Please consider donating today. No amount is too small (or too large).
Thank you for your support.
Stay safe and healthy, please,
Lynda
