To help Southeast Texas get back to business, Beaumont-based Howell Furniture and Ashley HomeStores of Southeast Texas have donated $50,000 to locally owned restaurants to feed frontline and essential workers.
Twelve locally owned restaurants in the area will receive up to $5,000 each to feed a frontline or essential worker group of their choosing.
“We just want to help the community in some way. We are locally owned and know first-hand how this unforeseen pandemic is continuing to cause challenges we could not have imagined,” said the owners in a statement. “It seems that the restaurants are one of the hardest hit industries, so we are focusing on locally owned restaurants, who can in turn feed some of the people who have helped our community through this time, and celebrate their courage and commitment to Southeast Texas. We love the communities we serve and want to see everybody up and running as soon as possible.”
