Midtown Global Market's entrepreneurs launched a way for you to the show appreciation for healthcare workers called “Meals for Medics,” and The Minneapolis Foundation has added a donation match to the effort.
Donations are used to purchase lunches for healthcare workers at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
There are two ways to start your gift giving. You can make a donation through the effort's GoFundMe page.
You can also text the phrase mealsformedics to 243725. A response will be sent with a link for making your donation.
Each donation up to $10,000 will be matched by The Minneapolis Foundation.
You're encouraged to donate what you can knowing that one meal costs an estimated $10. Not only do the donations pay for meals for those serving on the frontlines during this COVID-19 crisis, they also support the entrepreneurial small businesses at Midtown Global Market, many of which have been there since its opening day in 2004.
Meals, fruits and vegetables from various Midtown Global Market businesses will be included in the deliveries. Businesses and menu items will rotate throughout the campaign.
