Subscribe to 1100 Pennsylvania: Stay informed, support this reporting, and help restaurant workers in need

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 1100 Pennsylvania is donating 25 percent of all subscription revenue to the Restaurant Workers Relief Program.

The Lee Initiative, founded by James Beard Award winner Edward Lee, and Maker’s Mark’s Restaurant Workers Relief Program have “turned restaurants across the country into relief centers with local chefs for any restaurant worker who has been laid off or has had a significant reduction in hours and/or pay.” It offers help for those in need of food and supplies, packing hundreds of to-go meals a night.

Now in 19 cities across the country, the program has served more than 150,000 meals.
