How to Help

#1: Donate money to a relief fund for restaurant workers

#2. Donate your services or expertise. Are you a designer? Lawyer? Accountant? Real estate professional? Especially if you are local to Richmond, VA and want to help our city’s workers or operators, contact us and we will spread your message.

#3. Support your favorite establishments. Everyone is trying to navigate this thing in different ways. Follow the social media pages of your neighbors who own/operate/work at restaurants and look out for them. Also, keepcalmandnomnom.com is a Richmond-area listing of Restaurants promoting gift card sales.

Karri Peifer is keeping a list of restaurants open for takeout and delivery regularly updated over at Richmond.com

#4. Empathize. Restaurants are not just getting hit hard by the pandemic; let’s face it, everyone is getting hit hard. But, what is happening to restaurants and restaurant workers now will trickle down to other industries. Now is the time to advocate swift, decisive action by every level of government.
