Hurricane Ida Relief for New Orleans Hospitality
Another Round Another Rally and Turning Tables are partnering to get help to hospitality workers who have been affected by Hurricane Ida.
The immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ida has left many in the New Orleans hospitality community temporarily displaced and without a source of income while the city recovers from loss of power, damages and business closures. Even once the city begins to open up, many people have accrued expenses from evacuation, spending funds while not working, external damage to their homes and the looming uncertainty of when they will be able to return to work.
While the city recovers, we are looking to distribute funds that would go directly to people within our community that have been affected by the impact of the hurricane. Funds will be available on a first come, first serve basis in $250 increments to food service workers in the New Orleans and surrounding area who have been negatively impacted by Hurricane Ida.
How to Apply for a Relief Grant:
Anyone in the hospitality industry, dishwasher, bartender, server, busser, chef, cook, sommelier, manager, host, concierge, cleaning staff, or barback may apply for funds.
ELIGABILITY REQUIREMENTS:
-Louisiana Resident
-Currently working in the hospitality industry, or if unemployed were most recently employed in the hospitality industry
-Income has been negatively affected due to Hurricane Ida
Stay safe. We will get through this together.
Completing the application does not guarantee receiving a grant.
