As we fight to combat the spread of coronavirus, restaurants and bars are struggling to make ends meet amid the state-mandated shutdown of all dine-in services. 

This has left many restaurants with only one option—terminate the majority of their staff. For many of these foodservice workers, losing a restaurant job means losing their primary source of income, as well as their employer-sponsored health coverage.

 

### **Sam Tell cannot stand by and watch without taking some form of action.**

 

As such, Sam Tell Companies is contributing to the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund, created to help restaurant industry employees facing financial hardship in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Established by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, the fund issues one-time grants in the amount of $500 to workers who have experienced a decrease in wages or total loss of employment.

To learn about eligibility and to apply for aid from the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, visit this site: [https://rerf.us/apply-for-aid/](https://rerf.us/apply-for-aid/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8Uevbf3FLfwQeXwQ-MMioo9GCwAuWSlaKwerXb_NCA7DxX_neXEL4dzKhlSQ4gueB82crE).

Sam Tell stands with our extended family in the foodservice industry. We are all in this together.

Our Very Best To You,
