Feed a Frontline Worker!
The Beat Goes On - the hard working folks are still at it
We've had the good fortune to deliver meals to frontline medical workers as a thank-you from grateful family members and as a part of great local charity efforts. The fight isn't over yet and our local medical frontline workers are still working hard to keep us safe.
We know that people are trying to find ways to say "thank you" to the folks on the front line and one of them is to buy these folks a meal.
We are proud to safely deliver to hospitals and humbled at every opportunity.
We've fed the good folks at:
Massachusetts General
Brigham & Woman's
St.Elizabeth's
Tufts Medical Center
Newton-Wellesley Hospital
We are happy to deliver food and personal notes to staff at any hospital of your choosing in the greater Boston area.
$15 gets a frontline medical worker a complete meal with drink and dessert because everyone should get a dessert and especially the folks putting themselves at risk to help others.
Where we are
Limited Delivery Available
We kindly ask for a $100 minimum for delivery.
