JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ€“ Hightide Burrito has partnered with Baptist Health and Ascension St. Vincentโ€™s to allow patrons to buy burritos for those on the front lines of the pandemic.

โ€œWe are beyond grateful that you are continuing to support HTB through the COVID-19 crisis. And we want to pay it forward to the health care workers we are beyond grateful for as well,โ€ the company wrote.

When you order a meal online or by call-in at either the San Marco or Ortega location of Hightide Burrito Co., youโ€™ll be asked if you want to add Burritos for Heroes to your order. Each additional meal is $6.50, and you can add as many as you like.

The meals, including burrito, chips and salsa -- plus a thank you tucked in -- are prepared following the restaurantโ€™s safety protocols and then delivered in bulk to Baptist Health downtown from the San Marco location or Ascension St. Vincentโ€™s Hospital in Riverside from the Ortega location.

The hot meals go to health care heroes -- and sheroes -- and those who support them to care for the sick -- think receptionists, custodians โ€œthose hospitals donโ€™t clean themselves, you know.โ€
