We are seeking donations for the Hospitality Employee Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to RI Hospitality Association Member employees that have been laid off and are facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. 

COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on the hospitality industry workforce. As public places of accommodation, our industry was the first to be shut down by executive order resulting in thousands of unemployment claims. Basic human needs begin with food and shelter and COVID-19 has stripped these employees of their ability to financially provide these two basic needs for their families. 

Please support the fund today by making a donation. Every dollar counts!

If you would like to make a donation that is not listed, please contact:

Dale Venturini, President/CEO
