These were the instructions for staff at Dilly's Deli in Tempe: short, sweet and to the point.

"I gave the supervisor's name at the COVID unit at the Chandler unit, let them know it's from Lizzo," Clark said.

"We have pretty good reviews. I'm sure she has never been here. She has never heard of us. It was all based on word of mouth. It's great for us. Great for publicity," Clark added.

The hospital released a statement on the generous donation.
