As you know, the coronavirus pandemic is wreaking havoc on the economy, and none are hit harder than local restaurants, including the cooks and chefs.

Many of them have resorted to selling food in their homes and apartments to make a living. These people need our support more than ever during this difficult time.

These People Are Helping Others In Atlanta

Movie mogul Tyler Perry has been putting his money where his mouth is during this coronavirus pandemic. 

The Atlanta filmmaker has been doing good deeds of late in a big way. Days ago, Perry left a huge tip at one of his favorite restaurants in Atlanta, brightening the day of the staff.

Recently, he went to an Atlanta restaurant to pickup a takeout order, and left a $500 tip for each of the restaurant’s 21 employees

Now he’s upped the ante again: He paid for all the groceries during Seniors Hour at 44 supermarket locations in Atlanta. He repeated the good deed in his hometown of New Orleans. Way to go, Tyler!

A 15+ year Atlanta resident and longtime journalist and content creator, she covers Travel News, Events, Business, Hair Care, and Money with a practical, Atlanta-first lens. Before launching the site, Johnson worked as a substitute teacher in Atlanta Public Schools and later in corporate roles at Home Depot’s Vinings offices.

Editorial decisions remain independent; the publication does not accept products, meals, or services in exchange for coverage. As Editor-in-Chief, she oversees original local reporting and curated practical guides that help residents, visitors, and businesses discover and engage with the city.
