On this week's episode, we are joined by Ben Schecter, Founder of Feed the Front Line. Feed the Front Line collects donations, uses the money to buy meals from local restaurants that have been affected by the pandemic, and then donates those meals to front line medical workers so that they can have a healthy meal while battling Coronavirus. After starting Feed the Front Line in Houston, word spread quickly and other cities began to follow Ben's lead in their own communities. Now, Feed the Front Line operates in 6 different cities, has raised over $1 million, and provided more than 75,000 meals from local restaurants for front line medical workers. Our own Logan Jones was also one of the founding members of Feed the Front Line Kentucky, a chapter of the organization that raised over $15,000 in the Lexington community.
