PITTSBURGH RESTAURANT WORKERS AID provides resources and community support to restaurant and hospitality workers who have lost financial, housing, food, and healthcare security. Built as a coalition of service workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, our goal is to create a mutual aid network that can address the needs of workers in our industry, through this crisis and beyond.
HOW THIS FORM WORKS: When a request for aid is made we will reach out to our network of community members who have offered services such as sourcing supplies, preparing meals, packaging requests, and making deliveries. Our volunteers will put together a care package for you to pick up at our Distribution Center, or our drivers can drop a box at your door.
