When an Ohio couple's wedding reception was canceled due to COVID-19, they decided they not only wanted to donate their reception food to a local homeless shelter, but also to serve the meals.

Melanie and Tyler Tapajna had already paid the caterer, so the couple took all the food to Laura's Home Women's Crisis Center in Cleveland.
