UPDATE @ 10:31 p.m.: SouthBrook Christian Church partnered with non-profit Grace2Griddle and Orthopedic Associates of Southwest Ohio to feed health care workers physically and spiritually.
They prepared more than 250 meals to deliver to Southview Medical Center and Sycamore Medical Center on Monday evening.

“I think we’ve really galvanized a really great group of people,” said Pastor Mendy Fedotowsky.
