A restaurant owner in Maplesville is giving back to the community after tornadoes ravaged the area.
According to a report by WHNT, Sergio Sanchez, who owns Valle Grande Mexican Grill in Maplesville, has been boxing up quesadillas for members of the community after tornadoes killed two and destroyed many homes.
Sanchez told the outlet, "I went to go check on my son’s house. I see the big damage in Plantersville. So, I made the decision right there that as soon as I get up in the morning, you know, contact the employees to come together so we can cook some food and start delivering. But it was pretty bad last night.”
“The customers who come to eat at my restaurant are the customers we are delivering food to right now,” he added. “So, it’s just, it’s a very tight, very good community. And all of us- this is what makes our community, that we help each other whenever we need.”
The restaurant owner said the community would "do whatever it takes" to get people back in their homes.
“We, all the time, pull together as a community. So, whatever happened out there we will definitely… there’s people out there with no homes. No place to stay. Us as a community- we will do whatever it takes to put them under the roof,” he told the outlet.
