Columbus Restaurant Owners Launch Project to Feed Unemployed Service Workers
Tonight there are 100,000 restaurant and bar workers without jobs in Ohio because of the state shutdown. That's according to the Ohio Restaurant Association. Two Columbus restaurant owners say even if they can't give those workers a paycheck, they can make sure their families eat.
Ten TV's Glenn McIntyre shows us how Samantha Geyser has been a server for 21 years. It's a real love of the public. I really love interacting with people that start off as strangers. The job she loved and the income it provided evaporated. With the state ordered shutdown of much of the service industry inside of three days. I would say almost all of my friends lost their jobs.
Service Founded
The inaugural Service! initiative was a free boxed meal program designed to feed unemployed workers in the service industry and their families. Delivering 200 meals per day.
