Feed The Heroes needs help to continue after delivering 157,000 meals to frontline workers

An amazing initiative that has seen 157,000 meals fed to frontline workers in two months is in need of the public's help.

Feed The Heroes have been feeding staff such as ambulance paramedics, COVID-19 swab testers, contact tracers, medical scientists, ICU teams, COVID ward teams, and support staff across hospital and nursing home care settings.

The public has generously donated €1.14 million to the cause - but now, €950,000 of that fund has been spent - and they're in need of help again.

The operation currently costs €170,000 per week to fund, and they're in desperate need of help to continue feeding some of Ireland's most dedicated workers until the end of the month.

Feed The Heroes founder, Cian O’Flaherty said: “To date we have spent over €950,000 of the Feed The Heroes fund.

"Once again, we are extremely grateful to every single person who has powered Feed The Heroes this far, enabling us to support the people at the heart of Covid-19.

"We would also like to thank all the organisations who have sponsored this campaign from the start through various donations and fundraising initiatives.

"However, we are asking for continued support, just €7 will deliver one meal to a frontline worker."

Individuals and companies who wish to make a donation can contribute on the Feed The Heroes website www.feedtheheroes.com
