Meals for Hospital Staff
Donation protected
Many of us are looking for something to do in these unprecedented times. Support the emergency room, ICU and other hospital staff in our medical community by buying a lunch or two or seven. We will be supporting local owned food establishments - a win-win for everyone. We plan to keep this going, so please SHARE THIS LINK! Keep reading below for the details. Check back on this page for updates.
We have raised the goal (again) as many of you have asked if we can continue this offering, so thank you to those of you who have already donated and shared the link.
We want to be sure to provide the food when it is most useful for the staff.
Currently, our plan is:
CONFIRMED: Tuesday, May 12th - Garden Catering will be providing some yummy meals of quinoa bowl; Southwest quinoa bowl topped with blackened grilled chicken; or a wrap: caesar, garden or flower power. Each meal will come with a piece of fruit. These 81 meals will be delivered to St Vincent's for their lunch crew. In addition to their yummy chicken nuggets, who knew Garden Catering had all of these delicious options! Please stop by and support them. (Take a moment and read the note below that they wrote to the healthcare workers.) https://www.gardencatering.com
CONFIRMED: Thursday, May 7th - Centros will be providing 81 chicken cranberry and hummus wraps, chips, pickles, cookies and bottled waters.

CONFIRMED: Thursday, May 7th - Joan and Marc Levy of Fairfield County Wendy’s restaurants will be donating 60 salads - Apple Pecan and Southwest salads with chicken!
