Are you or someone you know employed by a restaurant? Think of all our beloved cooks, mixologists, greeters, hostesses, and waitresses, to name a few whose lives have been upended by Covid-19. In response to the hardship caused by Covid-19, the Illinois Restaurant Association Educational Foundation has opened a grant of up to $500 to directly support restaurant employees facing an unforeseen hardship due to Covid-19.
Current qualification requirements are:
- Workers who have been diagnosed with coronavirus or are a caregiver for an immediate family member who has been diagnosed with coronavirus, or quarantined with a doctor’s note, or
- Out of work for three weeks or more without unemployment benefits.
This is a first come, first served opportunity. Do not delay. To apply visit https://www.illinoisrestaurants.org/page/ReliefFundApplication
