A campaign to feed busy NHS workers has provided nearly 200 food parcels to those battling on the frontline.
The Medway Sunlight Rotary Club has been collecting items from the public to give to staff at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham for the last four weeks.
It aims to provide each key worker with ingredients for a meal without having to worry about shopping after a gruelling shift.
Rotary member Gina Carpenter accompanied this week's delivery with Tracey and Laura from Aussie baristas Boomers at the Dockside Outlet Centre who are donating various items.
They were joined by Mayor of Medway Cllr Habib Tejan who helped handover goods to Medway Maritime Hospital fundraising manager Donna Law.
Bill Parkinson Medway Sunlight Rotary Club said: “The staff at the hospital really are doing a fantastic job caring for very ill patients under very difficult circumstances.
"With a grant from Rotary International, our local funds and generous donations from the public, it has enabled us to carry out this project."
