Fueling frontline healthcare heroes

The Tuchman Family Foundation launched Fuel Hope Kitchen in the spring of 2020 to provide nutritious meals to frontline healthcare workers during the Covid-19 outbreak. The effort was launched in a matter of days in response to the dire state of health care workers working around the clock in over-capacity hospitals during the initial days of the crisis. During this first wave of the pandemic, Fuel Hope Kitchen delivered 50,000 meals prepared by Birdcall to Denver area hospitals.

When the second wave of Covid-19 swept through Colorado, it became clear that frontline workers in areas outside of Denver were overlooked and in need of support. Tuchman Family Foundation galvanized key partners and organized meal preparation and delivery in a matter of days. Fuel Hope Kitchen redoubled its efforts with Birdcall and aligned with Centura Health, TTEC, and Shamrock Foods to ensure that healthcare workers in outlying areas received much-needed relief.

In total the organization delivered 200,000 high-quality meals throughout Colorado.
