A Massive D.C. Beer Hall Is Acting as a Relief Center That Feeds Restaurant Workers dc.eater.com

This week, a 13,000-square-foot events space in D.C.’s Park View neighborhood has turned into a relief center helping service industry workers secure essentials while fallout from the coronavirus pandemic grinds restaurant business to a halt.

Before D.C. moved to ban sit-down dining Monday, Hook Hall (3400 Georgia Avenue NW) had already begun distributing meals and care packages to a crowd facing reduced or revoked schedules and inconsistent pay.
