LETTER: Putting those stimulus checks to good use

As I knew I would be receiving at least $1,000, I contacted two laid-off waitresses at a restaurant that I frequent. I gave them $500 each to help support them until they receive their unemployment and stimulus checks. I encourage others who receive but do not “need” their checks to do the same.
