Feeding the fight against COVID-19

On the front lines are feeling the stress.... but they're also feeling the love.

Several different organizations - just today - delivered food to the local hospitals.

News channel 2's brent kearney is live tonight at saint elizabeth medical center.

Yes st luke's was one of three places today that received food each from different organizations across the community.

Davon shambly and the rest of the moe's crew here in new hartford are cooking for some very special customers.

"i feel honored to make these for health care workers.this time when the economy is doing really bad why not help people out.

Nats burrito rolling and today they had quite the order "and you've gotta do 150 of those, yes i do.

Just another day at new hartford moes."

That's right, 150 handcrafted burritos and burrito bowls hand delivered to health care workers at st.lukes hospital.

.

None .

None "when i called them about a week ago they were absolutely thrilled, they were so excited.

And its been so hard their have been people coming out of retirement to help them.

They have been on staff for long hours this has been such an exciting thing for them and they've been really looking forward to it."

Across town at st elizabeth's, members of the ucfw showing their appreciation.

Each container of food had this letter thanking the workers for their service.

"you know in the healthcare facilities, they know that they're being exposed everyday.

So this is just a way for us to say thank you for everything they do 365 days a year."

Ecr international also purchased 125 pizzas from rosario's pizza for the masonic care community in utica.

"this was something that we felt we wanted to do.

It was completly funded by the employees of ecr.

Everybody as soon as they heard stepped up to the plate everybody enjoyed it and we're excited to bring a smile to those people's faces."

> and kristen what i'm hearing is that the healthcare workers that got lunch today were very happy with each delivery.

And again ecr says they will continue to deliver these throughout the night.

But it was definitely a day of giving back hee in the community.
