In Miami, Oklahoma in the United States, restaurants and their customers are doing their part to ease pandemic heartache, one meal at a time.

Cafes in and around the close-knit town in the state’s northeastern corner have put up “receipt walls”, allowing diners to prepay for meals and the needy to grab what they like, have a seat and refuel – judgement-free, no questions asked.
