Big Hickory Employees Relief Fund - Hurricane Ian

All donation proceeds will benefit the dedicated employees of Big Hickory Waterfront Grille & Marina and their families.

Along with most of southwest Florida, Big Hickory Grille & Marina was devastated during Hurricane Ian. The storm surge swept away everything in its path and caused severe flood damage to the interior of our restaurant, took all of our equipment, furniture and kitchen, and it will be months if not a year to rebuild and open our business.

While all of this can be replaced, what we do not want to lose is our Big Hickory Family. We have staff that has worked here 8,15, 25 years! Many of our loyal guests have expressed concern for the staff and asked how they can help, so we have followed suit as many other restaurants are doing, and are setting up this Go Fund Me page to provide much-needed assistance to our employees while the restaurant remains closed. 100% of these funds will go to the staff. This is not a fund to replace the restaurant.

The restaurant owners will match donations up to $20,000, doubling the impact of the gift you are able to give.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
