TV chef Guy Fieri has announced that he and the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation have raised more than $20 million for U.S. restaurant workers affected by the pandemic. Fieri has been sending restaurant workers $500 grants. More than 40,000 grants have been given in less than two months.
Fierie told TMZ "I started thinking about my brothers and sisters in the restaurant business."
Fieri personally reached out to some of the biggest food companies out there, like Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Uber Eats, for donations. So far, $21.5 million has been raised.
