Nurses for the Food Bank

2020 has been a crazy year, especially for Frontline workers. In all of the chaos, our community came together to feed us during the early months of the Pandemic. We were showered with kindness and food! We were also lucky to still have jobs and paychecks coming in. Many other people were not as lucky. Due to unemployment and loss of wages without relief, people are literally going hungry. The Hayward Drive up food bank (part of the Alameda County Food Bank Network)is experiencing food shortages and turning up to 200 cars away on distribution days. That’s 200 families, our neighbors, who are hungry! My Charge Nurse Rachel and I wanted to pay it forward by donating to the Alameda County Food Bank to try to avoid people being turned away. We’re raising money in aid of Alameda County Community Food Bank and every donation will help. Every $1 you donate will purchase $7 worth of food. 1 buck goes a long way!  The funds will be directly transferred from Gofundme to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us. Wishing you all blessings and good health!
