Michael S. Megonigal and his daughter, Marley, wanted to help people who lost their jobs as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, perhaps by buying someone some food, but the two weren’t sure about how to do it.
Nearly an hour passed — until the final tally came to $2,523.32, Lee said. Video that Lee shot shows his manager, Mirian Calero, and others cheering and applauding as Megonigal’s free-for-all wound down. At least 30 people received free groceries that day.
