Buck's and Comet Staff Support
Donation protected
To our guests,
The DC City Council has taken the much-needed action of indefinitely shutting down dine-in service for all restaurants in the city to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We fully support this course of action.
On March 16th both Buck’s and Comet transitioned to take-out only service with skeleton crews. Although this short-term solution has allowed both restaurants to continue to operate and serve the community, it has left 58 staff members completely unemployed with no recourse to find new work.
**This GoFundMe has been established for anyone who wishes to donate funds that will go directly toward one month of pay for each Buck’s and Comet staff member who has lost their job as a result of this crisis. Funds raised will be distributed to employees by Emma and co-organizers from Comet.**
We miss each other, we miss both restaurants that have become a version of home, and we miss connecting with those who walk through our doors. Uncertainty lies ahead for all of us, but looking ahead to the time where we can reopen and enjoy good food and each other’s company is keeping us going!
Take care everyone, and thank you.
With love,
Your Buck's and Comet fam
