Comedian Katie Finn wanted to buy lunch for her sister, an ICU nurse in NYC treating coronavirus patients. Now she's feeding thousands on the frontlines.
Back on March 21st, NYC-based stand-up comedian, Katie Finn, was adjusting to the new normal of working her day job from home. Finn was well aware that many out there did not have the same luxury — like her sister Kelly, an ICU nurse at a hospital in the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.
That day Katie bought lunch for her sister and the other nurses in her ICU unit. The staff thanked her and said having the food waiting for them during their long, draining shifts treating COVID-19 patients was a blessing.. She put out a call to friends, family and followers from the NYC comedy community to donate whatever they could so that she could continue to deliver food to frontline workers during the pandemic.
Many local NYC restaurants that were forced to close their doors following stay-at-home orders are struggling to stay in business. Restaurants that Finn has grown to know and love while living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan have joined her cause, and are taking on the challenge of cooking hundreds of meals at a time — with some even volunteering delivery help to get meals to hospitals across the city.
