“We need help now. Independent
restaurants are not going to make it.
So many jobs lost already. Please do
something before it is too late.”
Restaurant operator, Mesa
“We have had to let
go of so many hard
working, loyal, dedicated
and caring employees
because of the effects of
COVID-19. Each one of
them deserve support in
this rough time.”
Restaurant operator,
Tonopah
“COVID-19 has affected me and
my husband’s life completely. As
restaurant professionals, we now
have lost our jobs, our home. We lost
everything we know.
We now have to live
with family and hope
we find work. Now that
our industry is gone, we
have to come up with
ways to pay bills. Please
support this cause this
is a national disaster.
We need our bills to
stop or relief from the
government.”
Restaurant employee,
Mesa
“Very little supplies at home due to
local hoarding. My family of 6 relies on
local restaurants during these times.”
