From an email:

“Tables Without Borders, a non-profit organization founded by Sam Sgori and Sara Abdel-Rahim supporting refugee and asylum-seeking chefs, will launch a new initiative to support DC’s immigrant community during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recently launched GoFundMe page raises money to kickstart a program where refugee chefs cook meals to support clients of Ayuda DC, an organization that works to provide legal, social, and language services to help vulnerable immigrants in the DC metropolitan area. Many of Ayuda’s clients have been deeply impacted by COVID-19, and this recent partnership will work to provide 250 meals, prepared by refugee chefs who are honored to cook for a community that has recently welcomed them.

I started The Meal Bridge in DC to help local DC restaurants and healthcare providers. The idea is to have individuals or families sign up on the website to order a meal for the ICU staff of 12 and have it delivered.

email [email protected] for any restaurants that would like to participate. Additionally, we are in the process of adding some units at GW Hospital.”

“DC local chef Erik Bruner-Yang will be teaming up with me to create meals for our DC hospitals. Thanks, Erik!

I would like to have this an ongoing thing through the pandemic, and even include other departments like the ICU of hospitals into the mix, if possible.

I will also provide receipts (for accountability), and photographs and hopefully videos of the staff’s receipt of meals so that you can see the smiles of appreciation.”

GoFundMe for “Andy the dog walker”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

My name is Andy, in Colombia Heights I’m known as “Andy the dog walker”. I’ve made a career out of taking the dogs of Colombia Heights on potty breaks while their parents are at work. I really love what I do especially this time of year! Unfortunately COVID-19 has shut down my service and I’m struggling to survive. I want to be able to continue what I do and still have a hot plate at the end of the day, the struggle is real! I’ve started a gofundme for folks who would like to help me through this tough time. I’m in need of help.”

“Fuel the Fight – Go Fund Me to feed hospital staff”

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“A group of recent Georgetown grads started a fundraising effort called Fuel the Fight to deliver meals to hospitals in the DMV; it’s great because we are also using local restaurants and food trucks to provide the meals. My company (Curbside Kitchen) is helping them source the vendors. Fava Pot (has a stand in Union Market) will be delivering 50 meals to Georgetown Hospital this Friday. We will be continuing this over the next several weeks… every dollar helps!”
