Former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft, is doing his part to help out his local community during the coronavirus pandemic.
Accompanied by his wife Kelly, who was a cheerleader at UGA when she and Matt met, the two have announced that they will pay for medical workers’ meals all throughout Michigan.
“We will be doing this at multiple restaurants in Michigan,” Kelly wrote on her Instagram story.
“I will announce them tomorrow here on my Instagram, so if you work at a hospital, please go grab a meal on us and please stay safe and healthy,” she added.
From Detroit television station WDIV:
The couple said they will cover up to $5,000 in orders made by first responders, including doctors, nurses, police officers and firefighters, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The giveaway will begin on Thursday, March 26 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Royal Oak Wahlburgers restaurant only. Customers should order online at wahltogo.com or on the Wahlburgers app. Only takeout or curbside delivery is available. First responders should be in uniform or show their ID badge.
