Willie Wilson to hold gas, grocery giveaways across Chicago on Saturday
Businessman, philanthropist and former mayoral candidate Willie Wilson announced that he will be holding a gas and grocery giveaway event on Saturday, with 13 gas stations and three grocery stores across Chicago participating.
Wilson has held numerous similar events in recent years, and said in a statement that this event is in response to a recent announcement from Saudi Arabia that oil production will be cut by one million barrels a day next month.
Individuals can go to any of the participating gas stations or grocery stores, with those participating in gas station giveaways receiving $50 in free gas.
Those participating in grocery giveaways will be issued a $25 grocery card that must be used the same day. Giveaways are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
All gas station giveaways will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday, with start times for each grocery store giveaway listed next to its location below.
Here are the participating gas stations and grocery stores in Saturday's giveaways:
Wilson is scheduled to address the media outside Shop & Save at the start of the store's giveaway event at noon on Saturday.
