Madison County Cattlemen’s Association delivers 500 steak sandwiches to local hospitals
MADISON/HUNTSVILLE — Cattlemen in Madison County took a day off from raising cattle to give back to those who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We just wanted to do something to support our community’s medical workers,” Madison County Cattlemen’s Association Treasurer Randy Moody said. “We got together and decided what better way for a cattleman to say ‘thank you’ than with a steak sandwich?”
In partnership with local Steak Out restaurants, 500 steak sandwiches were delivered to the medical professionals of two different shifts at Huntsville Hospital, Huntsville Hospital- Madison and Crestwood Hospital.
County Cattlemen’s chapters across Alabama are joining in this effort to provide beef meals to medical professionals at Alabama’s healthcare facilities and COVID-19 testing sites.
“It’s just the best way we know to give back,” Alabama Cattlemen’s Association Larry Reeves of Elba stated. “I’m proud to be part of a community of essential workers in agriculture giving back to the heroes of our healthcare system. I know I’m joined by all Alabama cattlemen when I say I tip my hat to them and their work.”
