Right now, COVID-19 is overwhelming our community. The hospitals in the OKC metro are full and physicians and healthcare workers are working long and exhausting hours. They need our help and support!
The community rallied around our hospitals in 2020 and it’s time to do it again. Our hospital workers are overwhelmed and exhausted. Want to do something to help lift spirits at local hospitals? Here are some ideas:
- Create a snack basket for hospital staff. They’re so busy they barely have time to eat, and they will appreciate this so much!
- Donate a meal to a department. Purchase from a local restaurant as a family or together with your church or business to provide a meal. It’s an incredible gesture that is so very appreciated!
- Write a thank you card or have your kiddos draw/write appreciation notes for medical staff.
- Wear a mask, stay home, maintain 6’ distance and help flatten this curve.
To send cards, coordinate with local hospitals to provide meals or if you have other ideas or ways you want to help support OKC’s healthcare heroes, please contact:
