My business provides for my family, and we are having problems financially since the store is closed. I would appreciate if you can give me a little help with my situation. God will triple you the blessings. I will use the funds to pay the rent of the store and other bills I need to pay. Thank you.”

GIGINO’S DELIVERING, AND RAISING FUNDS
Gigino’s is still delivering (the Wagner Park location is closed) but of course, much of their staff is not working since the dining room closed on March 16. To support them, they have started a GoFundMe page, which you can find here. “Our employees have good hearts and their passion has been a constant throughout the years. You recognize some of them as you walk through our door, and many you don’t because they are busy scrapping plates, prepping the food, watching over the pasta, stocking the pantry & sweeping up the crumbs late at night.”
