Every Richmond Restaurant Employee Relief Fund To Give To Right Now

March 19, 2020 By Chad 44 Comments

List Updated: April 13, 9:30am

If life feels like it changed overnight, man did it.

But for the friendly faces at restaurants and bars around town who know your name, your face and your order, life didn’t just change—it came to a screeching halt.

We have to help, and we can—thanks to numerous resources created by our community linked below. If you’re feeling helpless in the face of this crisis and wondering how you can help, here’s your chance. 

We need to protect the vibrancy of our city and the people who make it all possible. These people helped to put us on the map, and after a decade of growth and hustle, they’re the last ones who deserve the shaft.

Give what you can. Individual resources linked below—no amount is too small.

Please share far and wide.

Spreadsheet Totals Update Automatically

I’ve created a Google Sheet embedded below that will scrape the donation total of each fund, it then runs a script to update and sort the sheet, and then updates this page.

    Hi!!!
    Thanks so much for doing this!!! Could you add 3 restaurants for me? I work at all of them and these people are simply amazing to work with! We need all the support we can get!!
    Sunset Grill – gofundme available

    Eat 33 and Eat 66 – one gofundme page set up for both restaurants.

    If I had any extra cash I’d donate myself, but sadly cannot right now. Stay strong Richmond!!

    Thanks, Catherine

    Hi there, I just found this page and wanted to give a thank you to all who have started all of these groups and fundraisers in the goal of supporting and providing for the workers/operators of our local, small businesses.

    Havana ‘59 just began their gofundme page and I humbly ask if you can add it to the list as we have about 20 employees who were laid off.

    Thank you for your guidance and support at this time.
