16 April Update – 7 days in, $39,106 raised, 5,000 foods delivered to 13 hospitals!! Read more and see photos here, down in the Updates section. ❤️

Over 100 healthcare workers around the world have died from COVID-19, caring for those of us in need. I want to say thank you to our frontliners. On Thursday 2 April 2020, I sent 250 muffins to the Westmead Hospital in Sydney as a small token of my appreciation to healthcare workers in the frontline, battling the COVID-19 war at great personal risk to themselves. The next day, I sent 1,000 muffins to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Liverpool, Concord, Hornsby and Royal North Shore Hospital. Dozer shouted coffee for everyone in the Emergency Department at Canterbury Hospital, and arranged for lunch to be sent to the COVID Ward at Mona Vale Hospital. And this week, I have 100 meals ordered to be delivered to the high-work-level wards of Westmead Hospital (COVID, ICU, Emergency), to be distributed to those who need it the most. Those who don’t have a hot meal waiting for them when they get home after a 15 hour shift. Those who have moved out of home to protect their loved ones. I don’t want to stop. And thus, Shout A Meal was born.

THE MISSION #ShoutAMeal

To provide delicious, nourishing food to our frontline healthcare workers in Sydney, and support local businesses struggling to stay afloat.

GOAL

To raise $210,000 to provide 500 meals per day for 6 weeks to frontline healthcare workers, and provide some much needed revenue into the hospitality industry. $10 meals x 500 healthcare workers x 7 days x 6 weeks = $210,000 (PS I secretly hope I can raise much more to provide more meals and more business to locals)

Life of Dozer

And finishing on a lighter note – no face mask could have prepared me for that moment when a bit of his food flew into my mouth as I mixed up his homemade breakfast 🤢
