Hearts of Empowerment Partners with Hospitals to Provide Meals

Hearts of Empowerment, MightyMeals, and The P.U.S.O. Foundation Team Up to Support Medical Staff amid COVID-19 Crisis

April 20th, 2020

Hearts of Empowerment and the P.U.S.O Foundation have partnered with Chase Mackey and Mighty Meals to deliver meals to medical staff in the DMV area. Since beginning the partnership in late March, the nonprofits have raised over $7,500 in donations through GoFundMe and have delivered over 400 meals. Meal distributor Mighty Meals, approached The P.U.S.O Foundation and Hearts of Empowerment to support hospital staff as they wanted to show appreciation for the hospital staff who are working to repair and restore the community.

In order to continue this project through the crisis, Hearts of Empowerment has set a goal to raise $10,000 and visit a new hospital every week. Although many people are unable to assist hospitals they can provide high-quality, ready-to-eat meals and funding for additional resources for local hospitals. The hospital staff have been thankful for the meals they have received from efforts throughout the community. These hand crafted and highly nutritional meals, delivered directly to the hospitals, enable the staff to perform to the best of their ability.

Given the success of the nonprofits’ initial efforts, this is an on-going project and more help is still needed. This Saturday, the process continues as they get set to visit Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. GoFundMe offers easy access to those who intend on helping from a distance. The link can be found here or on any of the social media pages and individual websites. If any neighborhood or organization would like to partner to establish additional food donation teams and pickups, please email contact@heartsofempowerment.org.
