Alexandria, VA – Ali Whitley and Jennifer Kearney Desiderio, two Alexandria residents, recently created Feed the Fight, ALX to help ensure the staff at area hospitals and medical centers receive proper nourishment.
The idea for the organization came from the duo’s friend Elena Tompkins, who started Feed the Fight DC, for the same purpose.
Given the fact that doctors and nurses work around the clock to care for those with COVID-19, it is essential to support them. And because local restaurants are struggling to stay in business, it is necessary to support them as well.
“Feed the Fight has the double impact of driving business to local restaurants working to stay operational and thanking healthcare workers fighting on the front lines by providing them meals,” said Desiderio and Whitley. “It is our desire to bring this kind of support to the hospitals and restaurants right here in Alexandria. ”

Thanks so much! I know that everyone I work with at IAH will enjoy the meals!
