Cuba Libre Employee Support Fund

**UPDATE** We have stopped collecting for this Fund. Thank you to everyone who donated. It was truly appreciated and helped many of our team members during this difficult and uncertain time. Please click through to our website for more details . Through an employee managed committee, all monies collected from this fund and our other fundraising efforts (gift card sales and cook book sales) were dispersed to 44 team members in the form of a money grant. **END UPDATE***

For nearly 20 years, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar has provided an “escape” to Havana to guests like yourself.  It has been our valued staff that has delivered on our mission every day.  

On March 16th, no longer having the authority to deliver the Cuba Libre experience in our dining rooms due to government mandates and concern for our employees and guests, we made the heart-wrenching decision to close our 4 restaurants and lay off our 450 employees.  We have been moved by the continuing love, support and commitment to our company’s future shown by our employees in the face of their own difficult personal circumstances. We are humbled.

As we work to put our restaurant in a position to re-open when we get the “all-clear”, our employees need your help.

We have created this fund, 100% of which will support our employees who are directly affected by COVID-19 or are otherwise experiencing the most critical hardships. As Cuba Libre’s owners, we have personally seeded the fund with a $10,000 donation and have initiated other funding efforts. An employee-led committee will review requests for support and administer this fund.  

If you have enjoyed a meal, a drink or a celebration at Cuba Libre, please consider supporting the people who made that possible by contributing to this fund.
