GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â A drive-through food giveaway is being held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Grand Rapids this afternoon.
The event, organized by Sysco of Michigan, the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association Educational Foundation, and the Michigan Hospitality Industry Employee Relief Fund, is meant to support hospitality and restaurant workers that are experiencing financial hardships.
We re told Sysco has donated 400 boxes of food meant to feed families of four.
The giveaway is scheduled to run from 1 to 3 p.m. today.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer still needs to sign the $465 million COVID-19 relief package approved in the state House and Senate. But given the widespread bipartisan support for the legislation and Whitmer s calls for similar relief, it s expected she will approve the bill.
On Monday, Whitmer said she was glad lawmakers did what I asked them to do and passed the measure. But she said there are some legal issues in the bill, and hinted she could use her line-item veto authority to remove some components of the measure.
The measure is different and separate from federal legislation that also would provide economic relief if passed and signed by President Donald Trump.
