MIRA | Feeding Frontline Heroes BN

OUR MISSION

Our mission to Feed the Frontline Heroes BN is two-fold. It is about fueling the extraordinary efforts of our city’s health and safety workers who are selflessly giving of themselves to fight this pandemic from the frontlines while in tandem, supporting our local restaurants and their employees who are working hard to keep their business operational during the strain of COVID-19.

OUR GOAL

Our initial goal of $20,000 will provide 2,000 meals for our local heroes. With your help we can not only meet but exceed this goal!

OUR STORY

Feeding Frontline Heroes BN started when a group of Real Estate professionals from the MIRA Young Professionals Network Group came together looking for a way to continue their mission of service work while still maintaining their social distance during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Staying at home, while being the right thing to do, left us feeling helpless, like there was more we could be and should be doing with the gifts we have to give back to this community that we love and serve. There just had to be a way to share that love with the heroes of Bloomington-Normal who were risking their health & safety every day so that we had the ability to be safe at home. There had to be a way we could rally the real estate industry to show our appreciation, and that way was to share the love by sharing a meal.
