Summary
Access a grant opportunity designed to provide short-term financial assistance to working food and beverage service workers who are experiencing significant personal hardships. The support is available to people who currently work or have recently worked in roles such as server, bartender, cook, barista, host, manager, or related positions within food and drink service settings, including restaurants, bars, cafes, catering, and similar environments. To be considered, applicants must have been actively employed in the industry and have a dependent child under the age of 18 or a medically dependent child at home, and they must be facing a qualifying circumstance such as a serious medical crisis, injury, death in the immediate family, or loss of home or employment due to fire or natural disaster.
The grant amount varies based on individual needs and circumstances, and each family may receive support only once in their lifetime from this particular program. Funds are intended to help cover essential needs related to the qualifying situation, such as housing costs, utilities, medical equipment, prescriptions, basic necessities, childcare expenses, or other crisis-related costs. Payments are distributed after a review process that includes documentation and an assessment by a committee.
This opportunity is available to eligible individuals across all U.S. states, including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, but it is specifically targeted to those working in the food and beverage service industry who have dependents and are navigating an acute crisis. The intent of the funding is to provide a financial safety net during a challenging period so that families can maintain stability while they recover or adjust to unexpected life events. The application process includes submitting documentation of employment and circumstance, followed by a review and approval process before funds are released.
