The food distribution will directly benefit idled restaurant workers and be done within health and social distancing guidelines. Meal pick-up will be by invitation RSVP only.
“We are happy to partner with US Foods in being able to assist restaurant workers during this difficult time”, said IronPigs President and General Manager Kurt Landes. “This continues to be an unprecedented time and this event will help serve restaurant workers who’ve always been serving our community.”
Volunteers will gather to assemble meal kits for up to 600 laid off restaurant workers. Restaurant owners will sign up their laid off employees to pick up their free packages at satellite locations. Each bag will provide enough food for up to 6 main meals, including fresh fruit, potatoes, and nutritional snacks for kids. Meal quantities are limited.
