Church to give away free lunch to cab drivers

TAMPA, Florida -- If you drive a taxi in the Tampa Bay area, your lunch could be free on Labor Day.

Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg is giving away a coupon for a free lunch to the first 100 cab drivers who show up to the church in their taxi.

The church partnered with the McDonald's next door to do something nice for people they know work hard year-round.

"We thought we would reward them," said Wesley's pastor, John Ekers. "If nothing else we thought they would get some recognition."

The church wants to be known as the little church with a big heart.

To get the free lunch, drivers have to show up in their taxi at the intersection of 4th Street and 38th Avenue North in St. Pete. Head inside the church and ask for your coupon, which can be used anytime in the month of September.
