A giving young man spent around four weeks gathering donations to answer the call to a “tip challenge.”
Giovanni Dellomo gathered around $1,000 cash to surprise the staff of Mileto’s Sub Shop in Newberry with tips.
“I’m doing it to make someone’s day,” the 8-year-old said. “People are losing their jobs during this hard time during the pandemic. I just want to do something for someone.”
A tip challenge encourages patrons to collect money to donate to the staff of local restaurants to help support them during the pandemic.
