Fifth Group Family Fund

For the 27 years Fifth Group Restaurants (South City Kitchen, Ecco, La Tavola, Lure, El Taco, Alma Cocina and Bold Catering & Design) has been in business, it has been our goal to create a special place to work where our staff comes first, to provide connected hospitality to our guests gathering for special occasions and to engage with our communities everywhere we do business.  As the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has developed, our company and the restaurant community has been impacted in ways we could not have imagined. But we know we are a strong company full of hard-working, high-spirited, get-it-done people and we will make it through all of this together.

We continue to provide all eligible employees access to medical benefits during this crisis, but we did make the difficult decision to furlough more than 600 hourly staff. So FGR Family team members need help right now.

We've been humbled by the outreach from guests, clients and friends looking to help our company and our staff members.

So we’ve put together the Fifth Group Family Fund, which is 100% dedicated to help out our employees as much as possible during the COVID-19 crisis. Donate in any increment to sponsor our Fifth Group Family and make a difference now.

Your generosity is appreciated more than you know
