URGENT UPDATE: Mumbai House, a popular Indian restaurant chain in Utah, is stepping up to provide free meals for families affected by the ongoing federal government shutdown. This initiative aims to assist those struggling during these challenging times, making a significant impact in the community.
Officials at Mumbai House announced that anyone impacted by the shutdown can receive free meals at any of their three locations: Salt Lake City, Park City, or Tooele. Starting immediately, individuals simply need to show up at one of these restaurants to receive enough food to feed their families—no strings attached.
“We think that we need to give back to our community,” said Dilpreet Toor, a partner at Mumbai House. “If we are this popular and at this height, we need to support our community, and the community will support us back.” This heartfelt message underscores the restaurant’s commitment to helping those in need during this critical time.
The restaurant chain understands the hardships many are facing due to the shutdown, which has left numerous federal employees and contractors without pay. By providing free meals, Mumbai House is not just feeding families but also fostering a sense of unity and support within the community.
While the free meals are a gesture of goodwill, Mumbai House encourages those who wish to support their mission to consider purchasing gift cards. Customers can buy these cards with the intention of donating them to families in need, further extending the restaurant’s outreach.
As the government shutdown continues, initiatives like this serve as a vital lifeline for many. The community response to Mumbai House’s efforts has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the importance of local businesses stepping in during crises.
NEXT STEPS: Individuals impacted by the shutdown are urged to visit Mumbai House locations as soon as possible. This initiative is ongoing, and the restaurant plans to continue providing meals for as long as the need exists.
