"Our social media person that we've used for the past four years or so, she saw that a restaurant in Washington D.C. was doing something similar," explained Emily O'Connor, the general manager for Juliet Italian Kitchen. "So, she sent it over to me to see what I thought, and we're very community-focused. We're happy to do something like this for people."
The deadline to request a free meal kit is Wednesday, Nov 25 by noon.
