New Plan Pays Laid-Off Kitchen Workers to Make Meals For Those in Need | Eater LA

"A family-run Arcadia sushi restaurant owned by Olympic skater Mirai Nagasu is being reopened as the first Los Angeles project of the Power of 10 initiative; representatives say it should be up and running by next week and will prepare meals to feed local residents and frontline workers in need. The reopening is being funded by about $75,000 raised for the program, which uses $10 donations (the advertised cost of one meal) to hire local out-of-work kitchen staff and scale up—using each $10,000 benchmark to hire 10 chefs for a week and produce roughly 1,000 meals." - Farley Elliott
