The initiative is facilitated through the nonprofit Off Their Plate, which delivers meals to health care professionals while offering economic support to local restaurants, with a focus on eateries that are female- and minority-owned.
On Monday, the group delivered food to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the Roberts Center for Pediatric Research, and Temple University Hospital. On Tuesday, Cooper University Health Care and the Roberts Center are on the schedule, followed on Wednesday with Temple and Cooper again.
