The Coronavirus pandemic is making life hard for many restaurant and bar owners around the country. In Philadelphia a project was started on March 30, 2020 called #Savephillyeats that will provide some financial assistance to these small businesses.
The gist of the project is a website was created that will list special offers from participating restaurants in the area that customers can purchase today and be redeemed in the future, when this pandemic crisis has subsided.
