Leslie Lee, a local realtor, is inviting friends and strangers to join her Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 10 a.m. in front of Black & White Coffee Roasters at 314 South Brooks Street with $20 bills in their hands and masks on their faces.
They will go into the coffee shop for coffee and pastries, then proceed to other downtown shops and eateries, spreading $20 each around all downtown.
“If a volunteer only spends say $17 on product, we ask they leave the balance of the $20 for tips for the service workers,” Lee said.
“By doing this it gives small businesses an economic boost in the arm financially and helps them get recognition for their establishment. The volunteers feel good about helping the businesses and their community. It also keeps the money in Wake Forest.”
