A bite of Hope

Project status

Completed

#HapkaHope is a reaction of good people in a time of crisis with an unpredictable end.

For several months, donors and volunteers have been providing hot, tasty, healthy and quality food to medics in the Covid-19 wards and emergency departments.

We started the campaign in Sofia and Plovdiv after eyewitness accounts of the extreme conditions of the second wave at the end of 2020, in which medics cannot take care of themselves and are physically exhausted. Within hours, the idea grew. Volunteers and donors from all over the country joined. At the end of the first week, the local campaign became national and covered 15 cities. Project #ZaDobroto and Gorata.bg we carried out the campaigns in Sofia and Plovdiv and assisted in the organization in places.

We want you to know that #HopeHope is more than delivering food: we give medics strength and courage.

BGN 7,951 was received in the donation account of the initiative. Many of the initiative groups in places opened their own donation accounts.

Dozens of restaurants and catering and food transport companies joined as donors.

We used the donations to order the food from restaurants and businesses that had already become donors. So we turned the circle of good and supported businesses that, on the edge of their own survival, continue to do good for another.

#HapkaNadezhda created two new initiatives.

We called on those living in the cities of the campaign network to order takeaway from the donor companies. This is how the community responded to the epidemic measures, which closed restaurants and tested the livelihoods of thousands of people.

Hundreds of children sent drawings addressed specifically to doctors and medics. Many of the medics, for their part, sent their own messages to the children. The feeling of belonging to a community and empathizing with strangers is priceless. It makes us a society.

#HapkaNadezhda reaches 20 hospitals in 15 cities - to wards for patients with Covid-19, emergency wards, triage wards. In November and December, #Hapka Nadezhda delivered up to 5,000 portions of hot food daily to the covid wards and emergency centers. The campaign continued in 2021.
