The organization of about 2,700 graduates from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine created a webpage where online donations can be made to the Meals for USA Health Heroes Fund. Donors may give as individuals, on behalf of a company or anonymously.
“The fund began as a way for alumni to give back to the health system where they trained,” said Leila Nichols, director of medical affairs and alumni relations. “Now it’s open to anyone who wants to help feed our healthcare workers as they provide critical care for these patients.”
As of April 8, the fund had grown to approximately $7,000, Nichols said. To make a donation, visit medicalalumni.southalabama.edu/food.
