Texas Program Will Allow Meal Donations to Families During COVID-19 Crisi | Eater Austin

"In Austin this Mediterranean restaurant is participating in the Texas Comfort Food Care Package Program by offering a whole roasted chicken tray accompanied by rice and salad as a multi-serving meal option. The package fits the program’s $50–$100 range and is meant to provide at least four servings; purchases are donated to feed families and at-risk youth during the COVID-19 dining-room closures. Participating restaurants volunteer their menus, the effort is donor-funded (not government-funded), deliveries are handled locally by the on-demand startup Favor, and recipients are selected by the Family and Youth Success Programs." - Nadia Chaudhury
