Feed the Fight New Navicent Health Initiative Supports Healthcare Workers, Local Businesses
In an effort to support healthcare workers while curbing the economic impact on local businesses due to novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Navicent Health Foundation has launched Feed the Fight. Through Feed the Fight, Navicent Health Foundation will purchase meals from locally-owned restaurants to feed caregivers responding to COVID-19.
"This is a difficult time for our community, and people want to know how to help. Feed the Fight not only supports our caregivers, but also provides our local restaurants immediate financial help that we hope will have a lasting impact until they can re-open their doors," said Ellen Terrell, President of Navicent Health Foundation.
Feed the Fight will only partner with locally-owned restaurants. Currently, those partners include"¦
