Nurses Week
Manhattan eatery
raising funds to help
feed health workers
BY EMILY DAVENPORT
A local restaurant is working to
make sure that healthcare workers
at New York City Hospitals
are fed while they treat COVID-19 patients.
On March 28, New York City’s
Shoo Shoo Nolita launched a Go-
FundMe entitled the “Feed Our
Frontline Healthcare Heroes Fund.”
The goal was to raise $75,000 so they
could prepare meals for the city’s
healthcare workers.
As of May 4, Shoo Shoo Nolita has
raised $49,690 of their goal. One
hundred percent of donations go directly
to the supplies needed to make
the meals. The staff, which has been
working around the clock to cook, has
PHOTO VIA GOFUNDME
begun to deliver 200 meals a day to
Harlem Hospital’s Emergency Room,
NYU Hospital’s Emergency Room,
Elmhurst Hospital, Lincoln Medical
Center Bronx, New York-Presbyterian
Queens Hospital, Lincoln Medical
Center, NYU Tisch Hospital, Maimonides
Hospital and Linski Hospital.
“With your generous support, we
will be able to deliver free nourishing
meals twice a day to help fuel the extraordinary
efforts of New York City’s
healthcare workforce & fi rst responders
fi ght the Covid-19 pandemic.” said
Shoo Shoo Nolita on their GoFundMe
page.
