RALEIGH, N.C. — Thousands of dollars have been raised to help North Carolina restaurant workers in need.
The NC Restaurant Workers Relief Fund has raised $750,000, organizers announced Monday. The fund has been able to help more than 1,000 restaurant and hotel workers affected by pandemic related layoffs. Applications were cut off at 15,000 people, with thousands added to a waiting list.
Capitol Broadcasting Company teamed up with the NC Restaurant and Lodging Association (NCLRA) to raise money for the fund with a special “Here to Help: Support Local Business," all-day virtual fundraiser on March 26.
Donations are still being accepted via the NC Restaurant Relief Fund.
