The National Restaurant Association (NRA) has led the way for guidance and assistance to restaurant owners and employees hurt by the coronavirus crisis. The organization has created resources and launched a fund to help.
The fund, called the Restaurant Employees Relief Fund, will help restaurant employees pay thier bills. "Through this Fund, grants will be made to restaurant industry employees who have demonstrated being financially impacted by COVID-19, whether through a decrease in wages or loss of employment," the NRA statement says.
