A food truck owner in New York raised his funding through social media. Najee Saunders managed to raise $2,500 through his followers. Saunders says he wants to continue providing meals.

Sinai Hospital, Coney Island Hospital, and Sloan Kettering Hospital.
Good deeds being done across the country
Food Smackdown, a group that works with food trucks in Southern California, understood that the industry was taking a hit. Steve Carlson, the man behind Food Smackdown, organized a team of food trucks that would also deliver meals to health care workers in their area. The need was so big, that Carlson had additional trucks at even more hospitals.
Paul Brozen is part of the film industry and is using some mobile kitchen trucks to feed hospital staff as well. He launched a GoFundMe that raised $100,000. Donations came from others within the film industry, with one anonymous donation of $15,000. What good deeds have you been a part of? Share your comments on the story in the comment section.
