But a group of hospitality businesses are working together to make sure workers in their industry are offered some relief. Spearheaded by Robben Schulz -- a partner of Watershed Hospitality Group which owns many hospitality venues in Ann Arbor -- staff members from The Last Word and LIVE Nightclub have been making free meals for out-of-work members of Ann Arborโs bar community. After the first industry family dinner, he started to receive donations from other Ann Arbor restaurants and bars, and he knew that there was enough food to make a second meal. A 4-person volunteer group has been preparing and handing out free meals for displaced bar and hospitality workers in Ann Arbor.
