Insurtech company, Benefytt Technologies, Inc., has teamed up with Feeding Tampa Bay to feed 4,000 Tampa healthcare workers on the frontlines during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Benefytt’s community involvement stems from a grassroots #FeedTheER effort in the Tampa Bay area, where Benefytt is headquartered. Benefytt saw an opportunity to help expand the effort’s reach to local healthcare heroes, so the company joined the movement.

The donated meals come from local restaurants, which further supports the local restaurant industry and our community in meaningful ways.

Some of our recent feed the frontlines activities include:

Partnering with World of Beer to deliver 60 meals to healthcare workers at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Partnering with Stone Soup Company to deliver meals to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Tampa Fire Rescue.

Partnering with Eat Right to deliver more than 200 meals to St. Anthony’s Hospital and nearly 120 meals to South Florida Baptist Hospital.

The Tampa feed the frontlines movement has attracted attention and been covered by several local news outlets, including ABC Action News and WFLA.
