/PRNewswire/ Grubhub today unveiled the company s latest initiative, "We Serve Restaurants," a reaffirmation of our commitment to restaurants and support of.
Food delivery giant Grubhub and The Greg Hill Foundation distributed a total of $400,000 in grant money to 40 Philadelphia restaurants for winterization efforts.
The city banned indoor dining last month as COVID cases continued to rise. Those restrictions will stay in place through Jan. 15. With even colder weather on the horizon, restaurants need heaters, blankets and outdoor structures to stay in business through the winter.
Eateries that qualified for these grants were those with five or fewer locations and a completed application that outlined its plan for creating a safe, warm set up for the winter. Selected restaurants received $10,000.
The effort spanned the country, reaching restaurants in Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadelphia thanks to a $2 million grant from the Grubhub Community Relief Fund. Additional support came from the Greg Hill Foundation s Restaurant Strong Fund.
