CLA May 6th • NON- PROFIT LAUNCH
Spring 2020’s COVID19 pandemic forced all Americans – all ages, all genders – to stay healthy, stay home. Social distancing the ‘new norm.’ Time will tell what societal changes COVID19 has inadvertently instituted.
Work, play, school, entertainment, and even life’s essentials (food, toiletries, medical)… all required to become remote-ready. Police, fire, EMS, doctors, nurses, grocery store cashiers, truck drivers… all essential workers risking their exposure to COVID-19 with every shift worked.
Realized during Spring 2020’s COVID19 pandemic, Chef Lou Smith needed to pivot and protect his restaurant staff, his family and help his community.
To legally galvanize Chef Lou’s vision of providing front-lines personnel of all types impacted by COVID19 with free, prepared, nutritional meals, #MarchTo50KMeals and Chef Lou’s Army (CLA), a non-profit, was born and mobilized.
