As we go into the fourth week of the federal government shutdown, Poor Richard’s Restaurant will give free meals and drinks to all federal employees and their families who have been furloughed, dismissed or are working without pay. Co-owners Richard Skorman and Patricia Seator stated, “We just want to help our dedicated, local federal employees when they and their families need it most.”
Affected people can present their government ID at the Poor Richard’s Restaurant register and, once each week, their meal and drinks are on us.
Poor Richard’s urges other businesses to follow suit.
If you would like to help Poor Richard’s offset the cost of providing meals to federal employees and their families, you can pitch in what you can in one of our contribution boxes, online, or add on to your order at any of the Poor Richard’s businesses.
Where: Poor Richard’s Restaurant (324 1/2 N. Tejon St.)
When: Starting Friday, Oct. 24 at 11 a.m. through the end of the government shutdown
