Local Restaurants Work Hard to Support Medical Teams

The Austin food scene steps up by doing what it does best

BY JESSI CAPE, FRI., MAY 1, 2020

It's no secret that the restaurant industry has been hit particularly hard during the pandemic, with shelter-in-place orders temporarily closing dining rooms and bars, resulting in countless employees being furloughed. Despite the struggle, the Austin food scene has stepped up to show their support for frontline medical workers by doing what they do best: serving their community with beautiful meals.

ATX Hospital Meals is a new organization designed to support both the local restaurant industry and health care workers, created by local entrepreneur Matt Silk and his wife Tonya. To date, they have raised more than $70,000 "with every single penny going to local eateries and delivered more than 2,500 meals to two St. David's HealthCare facilities and six ATCEMS first responder command stations."…

Many folks far and wide have been reaching out and pitching into the ATX Hospital Meals mission wherever and however they can. I wanted to re-cap a handful of companies that offered their support intheir own creative way.

1.) ATX KIT launches to boost Austin CPG startups, donate to hospitals

“[Christa Freeland] and co-founder Julian Dussan, who is also co-founder of Snack Jack, launched ATX KIT earlier in April. The concept is simple: Consumers can purchase a $49 or $99 kit that comes with a curated selection of foods from Austin companies… ATX KIT takes 10% of each sale to make kits for local hospitals, which it will distribute through ATX Hospital Meals….” @atx.kit

2.) Shop LC where our purpose is Delivering Joy 24/7/365. Whether you're shopping for beautiful jewelry, trendy new accessories, skincare products, home décor or more, you’ll love our products.

Reached out to us and donated masks to keep our volunteers (especially our drivers) safe while we tackle this mission. @shoplctv

3.) JP's Pancake Company Austin's 1st Pancake Food Truck 🥞 OPEN 5PM-11PM, M-Sa.
(curbside or takeout only) . jpspancakecompany.com @jpspancakecompany

If you are a dessert and pancake fan you gotta go meet JP! Buy some merch as he is supporting ATX Hospital Meals!! One of our missions is to help restaurants, so when they reached out to us to support our fundraising, we wanted to show the love right back.

So many more are reaching out each day, we’ll try to package them up occasionally in posts like this and the delivery yesterday from three great companies. #FeedingATXHeroes #ATXforATX

AUSTIN (KXAN) — On the heels of Gov. Greg Abbott’s announcement Monday that some businesses can reopen Friday, Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt joined KXAN News Today and gave context on what the county’s response will look like.

Eckhardt put it bluntly when it came to the governor’s announcement.

“I believe the governor opened up too much business too fast,” Eckhardt said.

Eckhardt said she appreciated the statewide response, and she’s grateful for the governor for “setting statewide parameters,” but she says the county and other local governments have a better sense of what’s going on when it comes to local hospital capacity.

“The counties have been on the frontline of this pandemic for two months now,” Eckhardt said. “We have a much clearer, more localized view of what our health care capacity is, and what it looks like if we overrun that capacity. While I agree that now is the time to start planning for a phased and measurable reopening of businesses, there wasn’t a lot of clarity on what those measures are.” …

Today we facilitated the delivery of three amazing companies’ products to all three St. David’s locations.. These companies reached out as they wanted to nourish our healthcare heroes as well. We met them, loaded up Tonya’s SUV until it could handle no more and then hit the locations one-by-one. Please check out these great companies and join me in thanking them for supporting healthcare heroes.

On 4/16 we announced the launch of our Corporate Giving Program when Flintco decided to make a $15K matching sponsorship pledge to ATX Hospital Meals. Many have asked us what that means and how their companies can get involved with our program. OK, let me break it down in words first and if there is still confusion, please see the visuals below where our founders, Tonya and Matt, hit the road with Willow to make it clear.

• Flintco commits dollar-for-dollar match up to $15K

• Donations flow in through normal process and each dollar unlocks one more Flintco dollar for our meals

• In three days we raised the $15K, so the match was fully funded

• Luckily we already raised some funds, so the operation wasn’t waiting for these funds...

  • We bought meals from local restaurants 

  • We delivered to our current three hospitals — St. David’s Medical Center, St. David’s Round Rock and St. David’s North

This sponsorship and it’s match from our amazing individual donors covers almost 3000 meals. which we are delivering each day. The work never stops as there are more healthcare workers at these hospitals and more hospitals to hit. So, which ATX company is going to join next and help us save one more restaurant and feed our healthcare workers? Contact us today at finance@atxhospitalmeals.com
