Syrian refugee offers free food to federal staff at his restaurant due to US Govt shutdown
A Syrian refugee is offering free meals at two of his restaurants in Tennessee to federal employees who have been affected by the ongoing shutdown of the United States government.
Yassin Terou who owns ‘Yassin’s Falafel House’ in Knoxville said he felt obliged to do what he could to assist federal employees and their families.
He told Good Morning America: “It’s important for me to provide free meals because these guys are our brothers and sisters, and they already did the work, and they aren’t getting paid.
“For someone like me who is living the American dream in the American land I believe every hard worker should reach his goal and have a good level of life.”
Hats off to this gentleman for giving back to his new country.
