Hop In & Captain’s Boil team up to provide COVID-19 relief to Front Line Workers

COVID-19 has taken the world by storm. As we all learn to navigate through uncertain times and to define a new reality, essential workers are still hard at work sustaining society’s basic needs. They have quickly become our “Healthcare Heroes & Heroines”, protecting those who fall victim to the silent enemy.  Coming together as a community now is more important than ever, and we want these Heroes & Heroines to know they have not been forgotten.

Markham’s startup Hop In is currently headquartered out of YSpace; York University’s community innovation space in the heart of Downtown Markham, specializes in moving people during their daily commutes with their technology platform, has also collaborated with communities and organizations across the GTHA.

Hop In is also amongst the many businesses in Markham to shift gears in support of local efforts and front line workers in the fight against Covid.  Hop In has joined efforts with Captain’s Boil, a well-known restaurant chain in York Region, to deliver hot meals to front line workers. 

The joint initiative between Hop In and Captain’s Boil Franchise delivers free meals and free rides-to-work to front line healthcare workers. So far, meals have been delivered to Sunnybrook Hospital in North York, as well as other hospitals around Vaughan and Markham.
