SOUTH BEND â Render Meat & Potatoes has partnered with United Beverage and Stanz Foodservice in an effort to feed frontline workers.
Render co-owner Hilary Maich said the idea came when she noticed her business received helped from government loans, loyal customers and family during the pandemic and she wanted to do her part.
â(The business is) going in the right direction, so why not do something positive for others?â Maich said. âA lot of people have looked out for me at this time and I feel bad because we havenât been helping anyone, and we can.â
Beginning next week, Render employees will cook and donate 50 homemade meals every Tuesday and Wednesday to frontline workers and volunteers assisting at the vaccination site at Hedwig Memorial Center, 331 S. Scott St. in South Bend. Maich anticipates she will continue the donation for four weeks, but there is a chance it could be extended depending on logistics and donations.
