COVID Relief - Restaurant Workers Community Fdn.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all and will require all of us to work together to overcome, whether by staying at home or by continuing to keep essential services and businesses going. We at Jerry for Congress are trying to put our skills to use by raising funds for relief programs. 

This week, #TeamJerry is raising money to benefit the Restaurant Workers Community Foundation Inc,'s COVID relief fund. This fund will help restaurants and restaurant workers who are suddenly without jobs and whose restaurants may be forced to close for good. 

We chose the RWCF because of its commitment to advocating for fair wages, equal treatment, and workers' protections for everyone in the food service industry. The food service industry has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic because so many workers rely on tipped wages, work several part time jobs, and have no benefits like paid sick leave. They are a huge portion of our community and they need our support especially as many restaurants struggle to stay open and supply food for residents and workers. 

Restaurant workers deserve a fair shake and they need our support to get through these times. Any amount helps, so please, donate now!
