Grammy-winning songwriter, producer and lead singer of OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder, is the next featured artist to join forces with Verizon as part of the recently-launched streaming entertainment series 'Pay it Forward Live'
and Fios Channel 501. The event is part of Verizon's coronavirus initiative to aid small businesses. Fortnitebetween DJ Marshmello and FaZe Clan's Nate Hill earlier this week. "As we’re all feeling right now, small businesses are a huge part of our daily lives," said Tedder in announcing the news. "I’m grateful that I am able to take part in an initiative to help lessen the impact of this crisis.
That initiative supports both restaurant workers and hospital staff on the front line. Meals are doled out seven days a week in April at no cost to hospitals or employees. Ordering and delivery is managed by Grubhub, which donated its services. Participating restaurants include Blue Restaurant, Bella Notte, Dino, Dosa Royale, Locksmith Bar and Mimi Cheng’s. Medical centers receiving food include Maimonides Medical Center and Hospital for Special Surgery.
"Healthcare workers are physically and emotionally putting themselves on the front line of the fight against COVID-19," said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business Group. "And for small businesses — especially restaurants — the impact of social distancing is real. This is an opportunity to bring these groups together, providing a purpose and resources to continue supporting restaurants, and a small gesture of thanks and comfort for hospital and emergency workers in New York City.
