Mission:
Local restaurants partnering together to raise funds and provide free meals to front line emergency workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
*Front Line Emergency Workers Defined As: Medical Personnel, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facility staff, Police Officers, Paramedics and Fire Fighters.
Goals:
1. Support front line emergency workers through ongoing meal donations.
2. Support local restaurants by purchasing the meals to be donated.
History:
Tijuana Flats and the Just In Queso (JIQ) Foundation were inspired by stories of FLAG – Front Line Appreciation Group, a grassroots effort that has been spreading like wildfire across the United States. This group has come together to raise money from the community, turn around and purchase food from local restaurants and then deliver the food to front line emergency workers mostly in health care. We have expanded upon this idea and the Just In Queso Foundation is sponsoring a similar local initiative under their 501C3 license.
Our program called Restaurant Partners Helping Heroes’ brings multiple restaurants together in the state of Florida for a coordinated effort to raise funds, purchase food and deliver food to front line workers across the state including medical personnel, nursing home and assisted living facility staff, police officers, paramedics and fire fighters.
