John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Hire Food Trucks for Protesters
The couple provided free food to NYC protesters Sunday.
Dec. 8, 2014— -- Protesters in New York City got an unexpected boost Sunday with free food from John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.
The Grammy-winning singer and his model and food-blogger wife sent a fleet of food trucks to feed hungry protestors in New York’s Lincoln Square.
Neither was there. But Legend's rep confirmed that the couple was behind the generous food donation.
Teigen sent out information about the trucks Sunday to her half million Twitter followers.
