www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Collins Hill High School junior Christa Campbell just wants to help her community during the COVID-19 coronavirus disease outbreak.

Campbell knows several people who work in the health care profession. Some of them are in her own family. Others are parents of friends. That has given her an indication of the demands and stress health care workers are facing on the front line of the pandemic.

So she and some friends decided to organize an effort with local restaurants to show health care workers at Northside Hospital-Gwinnett in Lawrenceville that they are appreciated.


\u201cI think it\u2019s really important to help our medical staff, because I don\u2019t know if everyone knows this or not, but they\u2019re working 12-hour shifts without enough time to go out and get a meal,\u201d Campbell said.

Campbell, 16, recently started the Gwinnett Meal Bridge with help from Shivani Desai and Nathan Eyasu, who she works with on Gwinnett County Public Schools\u2019 Gwinnett Student Leadership Team. The idea is that Gwinnett County residents can buy meals that will be delivered to hospital workers.

Eight restaurants in Lawrenceville are participating in the effort, and Campbell said the interest form the community has been strong enough so far that she is lining up restaurants in the Norcross area so the Gwinnett Meal Bridge can provide meals to workers at the Good Samaritan Health Clinic of Gwinnett County as well.

\u201cSo we just started (last) week, but so far we\u2019ve provided anywhere from 70 to 100 meals a day,\u201d she said.

Participating restaurants, so far, include Universal Joint, Cosmo\u2019s Little Italy and Blue Rooster Bake Shop and Eatery on the Lawrenceville Square, Chili\u2019s on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and Jason\u2019s Deli on Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, Cuernavaca Grill Mexican Restaurant on Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville, Feast 26 in Buford and Smokin\u2019 Gold Barbecue in Lilburn.
