ACAN In Action – COVID-19 Relief Effort April 1, 2020

Serious Work on April Fool’s Day Today we set out to help LifeWorks Austin whose young residents are experiencing medical, emotional and economic vulnerability as a result of #Covid-19. 3 ACAN volunteers, partnering with a local Chinese restaurant House of Three Gorges (http://www.houseofthreegorgestx.com/, 三峡人家), delivered 40 freshly made Chicken Fried Rice meals and >40 homemade cookies to LifeWorks Austin.

A big shout-out to the House of Three Gorges! – they provided all 40 meals free-of-charge, despite the formidable difficulties they are going through themselves during this crisis. #NationalDoctorsDay fresh on our mind, we also want to appreciate Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services responders and the HCWs at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin, who do not have the luxury to work from home. So this time we provided something definitely more tasty than those PPEs: hot, delicious Italian meals from Cedro Restaurant Scratch Italian & Wine Bar. 60 of them! Thank you for being on the front lines defending us against this vicious virus! We have your backs 💪, and we are all in this together 💕💕 #Compassion #ATXStrong #Coronavirus
