The Big Salad, located at 20400 Southwest Freeway, Ste. 140, Richmond, announced this morning it will serve free meals from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5, to help with area relief efforts.
Franchise owners Mauro and Celma Forastieiri said customers can come in and receive a salad, sandwich or soup.
“What happened here is an unfathomable disaster. People here are hurting and they’re hungry,” Mauro said in a statement. “We want people to come and share a meal together—on us, if only to give them a break from the challenge of rebuilding their lives.”
The store will also collect donations for the American Red Cross, but donations are not required to receive a meal.
