Fund for Gather Restaurant Staff During Closure
Donation protected
Dear Community -
Gather’s closure to protect the health and safety of our staff and community means that 45 hard-working and talented people including cooks, dishwashers, bussers, servers and more are out of work for at least a month. Some of these team members have been with us for 10 years! Unemployment benefits will only cover a portion of their lost compensation. The economics of restaurants and our society do not create a buffer for unprecedented moments like these, so it is our hope that you will consider donating to this fund that will be distributed directly to our team members to help them carry through this extremely difficult and uncertain time. It is our intention to match your contributions with Gather funds as best as we can.
We deeply appreciate your consideration to assist at this time.
With love and good health,
Eric and the Gather Team
