A Chinese restaurant in Hamilton is providing free meals to NHS staff and other frontline workers.
Flamin Wok will make 100 portions for the key workers every Wednesday throughout April, starting April 8, from 5pm.
Their kind gesture will continue until April 29 where they hope to reach staff working long hours and providing essential care during the fight against coronavirus (COVID-19).
Restaurant owner Jason Zheng said: “We’re trying to do something to help people, and also send free meals to NHS staff and the vulnerable.
“We also want to inspire other businesses to help us too and do more for the community.
“It means a lot to me, we need to try and unite together and get through this pandemic. We see a lot of people suffer from this, NHS staff, doctors and nurses are fighting on the frontline and endangering their life to try and save lives.
“Hopefully everyone, not just us, can do something to help them and make the community stronger.”
The takeaway has been closed since March 22 due to the country being in lockdown, but staff have vowed to give up their time to help workers at this difficult time.
They will also aim to help vulnerable people in their community as well as the elderly and those working in care homes.
Flamin Wok are also looking for volunteers to help deliver the free meals to those in need. Jason added: “We will do everything in box meal styles, but we can’t get lots of staff working.
“But we do need volunteer drivers to deliver the food. They must be in healthy condition and not in self-isolation to help keep people safe and help as many possible.”
