UPDATE TO PROGRAM, PLEASE NOTE: As Austin has shifted focus towards re-opening the economy we have seen donations trail off significantly for the last few weeks. We are still committed to spending 100% of the money collected, but our funds will be exhausted at the current pace after Friday 5/22 deliveries. We will batch all remaining funds after reconciliation into one-off orders for our amazing healthcare heroes.
At this time we will not be processing any new donations, but we would still encourage you to fill out this pledge form. We will be following up with updates to our donors/supporters/friends with great ideas on where else they can participate in the near term. We've met so many great people and organizations over the last two months and we would love to connect you to other ways to help right now. If you are interested in purchasing an entire meal delivery (~$550) we are happy to speak directly and will help you facilitate this through one of our partner restaurants and hospital locations.
[Existing Pledge From As of 05/19/20]
Support our local hospital staffers who are working in wartime-like conditions and support our local restaurants who are really hurting at this time.
To date, we've partnered with:
St. David's Medical Center (32nd Street)
St. David's Round Rock
St. David's North Medical Center
Austin Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS)
...and many local restaurants to make it happen.Together, we will provide high-quality lunches and dinners each day/night by partnering with local restaurants. Restaurants are facing unprecedented circumstances and every bit of business we can send them helps them survive.
Doctors, nurses, techs and first responders who are already working 16-hour shifts supporting ill patients and preparing for more. They barely have time to eat. 100% of the dollars you donate will go into buying meals. We can do a lot of good with even the smallest donations.
• $50: Feeds ~5 healthcare workers
• $500: Feeds a small ER/ICU department
• $5000: Covers ~10 deliveries touching multiple hospitals and shifts with ~500 meals
Currently, we are placing orders for fifty (50) meals per delivery and our hospital partners are then rotating the meals through their groups as they see fit. The security guards and janitorial staff at the hospitals are just as important to us to keep our hospitals running as smoothly as possible right now. You can see all the deliveries we are making each day posted at
