Donate Today!

This fundraiser has ended. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Over 1,000 people donated $103,503.96 that not only helped us feed over 8,500 meals to local healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID-19, but supported our local restaurants too.

St. Pete Rising, in partnership with the EDGE Guide, has launched an online fundraiser to help give back to the healthcare workers fighting COVID-19 while also supporting our local businesses.

We’re teaming up with one local restaurant and one hospital or healthcare provider per day to raise money to provide daily meals for healthcare workers.

While many of us are quarantined at home, thousands of healthcare workers across St. Pete and Pinellas County are risking their lives to keep our friends, family, and community safe from the COVID-19 outbreak. As we’ve seen around the world, they are on the front lines of this fight.

At the same time, as a result of social distancing, many of our local businesses are struggling. On March 20th, Governor DeSantis ordered all restaurants to eliminate on-site dining – leaving take-out or delivery as the only option. As a city that prides itself on being loyal to our small businesses, there has never been a more urgent time to show your support.

Your donation will not only provide meals to local healthcare workers who are on the front lines fighting this virus, but will also support local restaurants that are struggling to stay in business during this incredibly tumultuous time.

They need us. Donate today.

We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the positive response this fundraiser has had in our local community. Without your donations, none of this would be possible.

To date, we’ve purchased and delivered over 8,000 meals from local restaurants for healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID-19.
