Why healthcare workers specifically?
Food connects humans. We want to ensure that health workers are taken care of as humans, and we believe that they are experiencing the greatest amount of stress during this time. As we scale this effort, we will consider collaborating with other public service organizations to maximize social values and create positive social impacts.
Could I obtain a tax deduction for my large donation?
Feed Your Hospital is fiscally sponsored by Ascend Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. For donations of $250 and higher, you will receive an official Ascend Foundation letter via e-mail acknowledging your donation. This letter can be used for tax purposes. Please allow 2-4 weeks for letter processing.
What type of food are you delivering to health workers?
