MARTINEZ, CA: No one is non-essential. Families and businesses around Martinez have felt the economic impact of the government shut down orders. To help out families hardest hit by the shelter in place, and local restaurants that lost business, a local attorney is stimulating Main Street with $30,000 in free meals.
Tully & Weiss Charities partnered with Main Street Martinez to pair Martinez locals in need of a meal with downtown restaurants that need business. The program will donate $30,000 to 16 downtown Martinez restaurants, and will distribute $50 gift certificates to 600 families that lost work due to being classified as “non-essential.” This will give restaurants a boost, help hundreds of families, and stimulate sales for all downtown businesses. Win-Win-Win!

Martinez, as a community, has really stepped up and taken care of those local business owners who are being impacted by Covid-19 and the loss of work. You notice, that this is a grassroots community effort and no politicians were involved. Probably why this plan is working so well. Martinez Strong!!
