May 6, 2020 — Across the United States, healthcare workers and first responders on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis are being treated to healthy, protein-rich meals courtesy of the “Seafood For Heroes” program, a collaborative effort established by the Napa Seafood Foundation, with help from its network of foodservice and seafood industry partners.
The Seafood For Heroes initiative has been gaining steady momentum since its launch in late April, with more than 7,500 meals delivered throughout 49 U.S. cities in 11 states so far. Funds for food are raised by meal drives, with financial contributions accepted on the Seafood For Heroes website. The meals themselves – which range from USD 10 to USD 20 (EUR 9.22 to EUR 18.45) each – are prepared and delivered by the program’s local and national restaurant partners, including popular chain Red Lobster.
