Natalie Guo – Founder – Off Their Plate
Natalie Guo was born in China, raised in Sweden and now calls Boston home. She is currently a medical student at Harvard Medical School, and at the beginning of the pandemic saw firsthand how devastating the toll on first line medical workers really was. So she had an idea: with so many workers out of work and so many healthcare workers needing warm meals, why not bring the two together? In less than 48 hours her idea was born.
Off Their Plate is a non-profit organization that employs restaurants to cook meals and deliver them to hospitals and urgent-care centers. That idea is now in cities all over the country, harnessing more than 220 volunteer workers. The concept has now morphed into helping with natural disasters and other areas in need. Natalie explains how the idea came to be and how it is fueling her own vision for her career, and what can be learned from her story to help anyone else creating something out of nothing.
