GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Greensboro man and his daughter have started a fundraising campaign to provide meals to healthcare workers at Cone Health hospitals.
After grabbing lunch from Stamey's earlier this month, Maury Kennedy says he drove by a nurse at Wesley Long Hospital.
"I said to my family, 'I just wish I could do something. I wish I could give her my lunch,'" he said.
It was then that the wheels started turning.
"So the idea hit me why not raise money to feed the nurses by buying food from the very restaurants in town who are struggling. Everybody kind of wins for the day," Kennedy said.
So Maury along with his daughter Julia started a GoFundMe campaign to feed frontline healthcare workers. They initially raised enough money to feed 150 people and worked with Stamey's to provide the meal.
"I woke up the next morning and low and behold we had raised enough money to feed the entire hospital again," Kennedy said.
