OVER $240,00 IN AID PROVIDED TO DATE!
The HWRF started as an emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the resulting widespread industry disruption, leaving many workers without jobs, or with significantly reduced hours. Over $240,000 was provided to more than 700 hospitality workers in 2020 and 2021 to help address the unexpected loss of income, and assist with expenses like groceries, gas, utilities and housing.
Our current partners are Ballard Center, Bert Nash, Centro Hispano, and Heartland Community Health. Each of these organizations receives HWRF grant funds to directly serve hospitality workers. Below is information on services provided, including childcare, whole health and dental care, counseling and utility and rent assistance.
Tell them you are a hospitality worker, and they will be able to utilize Hospitality Worker Relief Fund grant funds to provide you with services and support.
