I love this. It would be cool for anyone, even adults, to have something they created displayed on a billboard in Times Square. Never mind three young kids getting their artwork up there for all of NYC to look at. Even better? It was all for a great cause to support essential workers. Read the…
Two restaurant chains that you’ve most likely been to before have stepped up big to help out their employees and healthcare workers during the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic.
