A local Duluthian donated $1,000 in boxed meals from Vanilla Bean Restaurant to Emergency Room/COVID nursing staff at both Essentia and St. Luke’s. On Dec. 21, John Goldfine sent boxed meals to both hospitals for workers in the COVID units. His gift was in honor of the University of Minnesota Duluth’s men’s hockey team. Goldfine also encouraged others in the Twin Ports who are looking for ways to give back to consider sending meals to the local hospitals. This donation comes on the heels of another anonymous donation of $500 in meals to Essentia workers earlier this month.
