Support Heroes & Restaurants!

Heroes & Restaurants, Serving New Castle County, is a partnership of West Side Grows Together, Feeding Front Line Healthcare Givers Fund, and generous donors. We have two major goals: supporting our small business community starting with the West Side of Wilmington, and feeding those healthcare and essential workers who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout Wilmington and New Castle County. We are now in the midst of an unprecedented public health crisis of enormous severity and consequences. Beyond showing care and concern for family and friends, many of us want to help. Two groups that have been adversely affected in this extremely stressful time are (1) medical professionals, first responders, and other essential workers providing immediate care to those in need, all the while exposing themselves to danger. and (2) small business owners who have had to stop operating or limit operations, many of which are small-scale restaurants. This effort aims to support hardworking medical professionals and other essential workers and feel recognized through the delivery of delicious meals from local restaurants. Additionally, Local restaurants help their neighbors and receive economic support, allowing them support their employees and families. With the support of generous donors, Heroes & Restaurants is collecting funds to purchase meals from local restaurants to feed our heroes at their places of work. We will focus on the West Side of Wilmington first and expand throughout the City of Wilmington and New Castle County.  Click here to make a donation and when prompted enter the access code “hero”.
