Relief fund set up for employees of restaurants

The National Restaurant Association “will provide grants to restaurant industry employees who have been adversely impacted by COVID-19, financially, whether through a decrease in wages or loss of employment.”  The $500 grant is limited to one per person, it is privately funded through a variety of businesses including but not limited to Pepsico, P&G Professional, Corono Extra,  Uber Eats and many more.

According to the website: “Grants will be awarded as soon as possible to those individuals who meet the prescribed eligibility criteria, as reviewed and verified by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF). Subject to the availability of funds contributed to the Fund, a one-time grant of $500 will be disbursed directly to the applicant following NRAEF’s review and confirmation that their submitted application meets the prescribed guidelines. Awards will be limited to one grant per person.”
