The man behind Samuel Adams Beer is giving back.
Boston Beer Company Founder/Brewer Jim Koch, in conjunction with The Greg Hill Foundation, is providing $1,000 grants to restaurant employees who are out of work as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Furloughed employees in 20 states, including Texas, are eligible for the payments, which are distributed through the Restaurant Strong Fund.
So far, the fund has helped hundreds of applicants.
Koch said the grants offer quick help when it's needed most. The deadline to apply at restaurantstrong.org is April 30th.
Donations are also accepted, and Koch said the program could be extended to help more furloughed restaurant workers.
