For Immediate Release: Friday, May 1, 2020
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, County Council Vice President Tom Hucker, Congressman Jamie Raskin, Maryland State Comptroller Pete Franchot, State Senator William Smith and State Delegates Lorig Charkoudian, David Moon and Jheanelle Wilkins have pledged their support for “Meaningful Cinco de Mayo Takeout Tuesday.”
“The County Council and I have made financial help available for businesses through the Public Health Emergency Grant program, but we know the best way to help restaurants is to order takeout meals and urge our neighbors and friends to do the same,” said County Executive Elrich. “I have been ordering takeout from restaurants around the County during this time and I challenge others on Cinco de Mayo to join me in supporting Long Branch restaurants or the local establishments in their communities.”
The Silver Spring Regional Office, the Long Branch Business League and nonprofit Montgomery Housing Partnership (MHP) have been working to organize the Long Branch takeout support.
