Program hopes to deliver more than 3K meals to Solano’s poor, homeless
FAIRFIELD Restaurants in Fairfield and Vallejo will prepare 3,200 meals for low-income families and the homeless over a 20-week period beginning in June.
The work is part of the Restaurant Resiliency Program of Solano County, which received a $100,000 grant, the Solano Small Business Development Center announced.
Restaurants will receive $25 for every hot meal they prepare.
“Any restaurant in Vallejo or Fairfield is eligible to participate in this program but we will be giving priority to those businesses with 15 or fewer employees because we know those are the ones that have been hardest hit by the pandemic,” Tim Murrill, director of the Solano SBDC, said in a statement. “We are so grateful for the generosity of Wells Fargo that will benefit our restaurants and low-income individuals in our community.”
