Serving During the Pandemic
Douglas County Sponsors Meals for Hospital Workers

The Douglas County Chamber and Douglas County Economic Development Authority joined forces to support our Douglas County restaurants and provide daily meals to the over 500 healthcare workers at Wellstar Douglas Hospital and public safety workers serving on the front lines during the Coronoavirus pandemic. They created the Douglas Strong Fund to support this effort as well as create a fund for the recovery effort of COVID-19. 100% of funds will be used to purchase meals which will be delivered to Wellstar Douglas Hospital and public safety departments. All meals will be provided by Douglas County restaurants who will be paid for these meals. This is a win-win-win .... front line workers need our support, local businesses need our patronage, and the residents of Douglas County want to do what they do best, help each other.

This initiative allowed the Rotary Club of Douglas County to apply our Service above Self motto as we were able to sponsor a whole days worth of meals! We delivered 500+ meals to healthcare workers at Wellstar Douglas Hospital! This truly was a community effort and we were happy to be able to support a restaurant in our community, while also, serving those on the front-line!
