Paying it forward feeds 1,300 in Wilson
An initiative started by a Wilson woman and a restaurant owner has led to more than 1,300 hot meals served to people in need.
Posted — Updated"How wonderful that would be not only for the people who get food, but for the restaurants who are able to keep their employees and business going."
"It is a difficult time because we have all the restrictions that are in place. Some of the restrictions have been lifted. However, it still puts a pressure on us to get the customer in the door," Bell says.
Since Powell made the initial donation, business has been slowly picking up.
"It's improving. We have more people coming through the door since we started," Bell said.
"The whole point is that this is something that is so simple," Powell says.
Any donations are turned into meals that are distributed first-come, first-served with no questions asked at SaYum on Monday through Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m.
