The Millionair Club operates a supportive employment program that specializes in helping people who are experiencing homelessness or other barriers to employment to become job-ready, according to its website.

Its services include daily work assignments and temporary job placement.

The Millionair Club tweeted shortly after 5:30 p.m. Wednesday that 236 workers were sent to fill jobs at CenturyLink Field.

Beyonce's Formation World Tour concert starts there at 7:30 p.m.

The "MCC workforce will be there, serving lemonade at concessions (and catch a glimpse of Bey!)," Millionair Club staff tweeted.

A call from KIRO 7 to the Millionair Club after business hours for additional details about the jobs and 236 workers was not immediately returned.
