The Atlanta Hawks are helping to deliver meals to frontline workers treating COVID-19 patients at Emory Healthcare through a multi-week meal program that also provides employment for restaurant workers who lost their jobs or were furloughed due to the financial impact of the Coronavirus.
Through the Hawks Foundation and State Farm, the Hawks are assisting Emory Healthcare, the most comprehensive health system in Georgia and the official health care provider of the Atlanta Hawks. It has more than 1,000 frontline workers assisting COVID-19 patients while improving lives and providing hope for the Atlanta community during the worldwide pandemic.
