, Front-Line Appreciation Group of Chatham and Madison. Liz, who is the founder of the Chatham chapter, partnered with friend In honor of World Health Day today, Liz spoke to E! News about the work she and Gina are doing with FLAG and how it came together.
"A friend of mine had posted on Facebook a quick picture of [New York's] Huntington Hospital's Meals Group and that they were basically organizing a boatload of meals over to the hospital that night," Liz tells E! News."And I thought, that is totally brilliant, we should be doing the same thing here in New Jersey. So I re-posted a screenshot of that to my community page and asked if people would want to gather and do the same thing.
"We are now in 17 states across the country, 64 chapters of FLAG. It's totally amazing," Liz tells E! News."The responses I'm getting from people on what it means to them is just phenomenal. It's so fulfilling. For them, it's something positive to do, a way to give back. For the nurses and the doctors and the techs and the security guards and everyone who's at the hospitals and the testing centers it's a lifeline. And it's been so well-received.
"The comments and pictures and notes, its been unbelievable," she says."It seems like a simple, simple thing but the reality is our economy is significantly at risk, especially small businesses. To be able to keep them afloat and provide some love and care to those who are risking themselves is just awesome."
