A Chicago restaurant group is handing out thousands of meals for free after having to furlough 600 workers
Even though the Fifty/50 group furloughed much of its staff, a handful of workers have volunteered to help with the project, which is being supported by donations of $25,000 a week from an anonymous Chicago tech executive.
"It's a complete 180" from his usual workday, he told Business Insider. "Normally, you know, I'm running the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. But yeah, I am solely devoted to this project for the foreseeable future."
