Since our holiday drive was so successful and the restaurant industry is coming into the slowest time of year when staff is already struggling that we decide to extend it as well as offer assistance to entertainers. Our goal is to raise as much $$ as we can to give families $1,000 each directly as well as support establishments by dining in and tipping servers with at least $100.

We are hoping to raise $50,000 to award 25 families with $1,000 to help them pay bills.

Thanks to the amazing generosity of strangers we were already able to help the following families:

Single mom with two young children who's rent is $2800 per month and she is only making $500 a week

Single mom with two boys, 8 and 12 who's hours as a prep cook got cut from 12-16 hours a day 5 days a week to 8 hours a day 3 days a week

Single mom who is a server with 3 kids who told her 8 year old there was no Santa as she didn't want him waking up to no present thinking he was bad. Well he believes more than ever now and so does Mom!

A single Dad who manages a bar that was shut down

These are just a few examples that we are proud of. But our work is not done!

Each award will be decided be 3 board members and each application properly screened and vetted, as we know how hard you work for your money too. Award recipients will be announced if they agree to it as their privacy and honor needs to be respected as well. If you know of a family in our hospitality family that is struggling and could use help please email the details to RestaurantReliefLI@gmail.com
