With many individuals inside, representative Stephanie Kifowit has created a COVID-19 BINGO card to help raise awareness during this time of crisis and each completed card will generate a meal donation through Feeding the Frontline initiative through April.
The BINGO card was posted on Friday to representative Kifowit’s Facebook page, @ILDistrict84, and on her website ILDistrict84.com for individuals to download and enjoy. Spaces include boxes to remind individuals to cover their mouths and faces when they go out, complete the census or try a new recipe, for example.
“During stressful times such as this, I think it is important to provide people with a bit of fun,” said Kifowit. “This BINGO card will remind people about important guidelines such as social distancing and also support a great cause”.
For each selfie posted with a completed card, and identified as #ILDistrict84, Kifowit will donate one meal to Feeding the Frontline initiative through Reulands Food Service in Aurora throughout the month of April. This recently born movement allows restaurants similar to Reulands to provide meals for our healthcare workers and other first responders. The donation will cover the cost of making and delivering meals to local hospitals including Rush Copley Hospital, which is in the 84th District.
“This is one way that residents can help support our front line workers, by providing them with a meal as they work long hours to help with those that are ill”, continued Kifowit. “We as a community are doing a great job of helping those in the healthcare industry, and I am happy to do my part”.
