ST. LOUIS — St. Louis area nonprofit The Link Market is launching "Food for the Frontlines," a campaign to feed health care workers by connecting area hospitals and clinics with local restaurants.

Through the campaign, people and corporations can make tax-deductible donations that The Link Market will use to fund restaurants providing meals to health care workers.

Every $10 donated to the campaign will fund one meal for a health care worker. Every $100 received will ensure three restaurant shift hours.

"The program will not only feed hungry providers, but also offer a much needed lifeline to local restaurants as they work to overcome state-wide dining restrictions," The Link Market said in a press release.

The meals are then safely handed off in close coordination with the hospitals and health centers, The Link Market said.
