WHY HOPE FOR HOSPITALITY?

Despite seeing some recovery from the past year’s challenges, the New York City restaurant industry remains in dire straits, as many struggle to adequately staff their establishments. At the same time, thousands of New Yorkers are still facing difficulties with finding steady employment in the wake of COVID-19, despite having a desire to work. The goal of our first Giving Tuesday campaign, Hope for Hospitality, is to provide a solution to both of these troubling issues. Our plan is to raise $15k towards our first training cohort, which you can read more about below.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Your gift helps us to ensure that the next generation of service professionals have even more opportunities to learn, succeed, develop and grow in the hospitality industry, positively impacting our local economy and future. We are graciously asking the entire NYC community to offer a donation to Hospitality Pathways on or before Tuesday, November 30th, 2021, Giving Tuesday. Your generous support will benefit current and future trainees and restaurants in many ways, including:

Providing unemployed New Yorkers who are looking for work with exclusive, high-quality training
Help stabilize the struggling NYC restaurant scene with expert staff, across all five boroughs
Securing employment for 10 individuals who are looking to make their way into the hospitality industry
