When hospitals were at full capacity from the pandemic back in March 2020, Prospect Park resident Phil Sanders sent some pizzas to a nearby hospital to boost morale for health care workers facing life-threatening conditions and grueling hours.

Two years later, Sanders runs “Delco Feeds the Frontlines Group,” a Facebook page he and his friend Tom McKeown started shortly after that first pizza delivery, writes Peg DeGrassa for the Daily Times.

The page has almost 6,000 members.

People have been sending him contributions and offering suggestions for specific health care workers and hospital departments that could use a boost.

Complimentary meals have been going out to hospital doctors and nurses, housekeeping, radiology, maintenance, and administration.

“We overlooked no one,” Sanders said. “We hit every health care facility in the area. In the beginning, it was crazy. I was barely sleeping because I was so amped up by what we were doing!”

It’s estimated the group has fed thousands of hospital employees with hundreds of deliveries.

More recently, it has started helping small business owners cover rents to help them stay open and is donating to two recovery houses, Mya’s Place and A Key to Freedom.
