Community Foundation COVID-Relief Fund Spotlight

In January of 2021, the Hollister Downtown Association (HDA), with initial funding support from the Community Foundation for San Benito County (CFFSBC), successfully launched their Meals for Heroes program. The Meals for Heroes program’s purpose is to support our essential frontline health care providers by serving individually packaged meals from local participating restaurants. Meals for Heroes offered struggling restaurants an opportunity to continue to serve the community while keeping their workers employed. San Benito County restaurants that participated with Meals for Heroes included Paine’s Restaurant, Mangia’s Italian Kitchen, La Catrina, Heavenly Bakery, Fourth Street Eatery, Cozy Cup Café, La Sabrosa, Farmhouse Café, Seabrisa’s, Country Rose, Eva Mae’s, Doña Esther’s, Grillin & Chillin Alehouse and Round Table Pizza.
