Aria Employee Relief Fund

Aria opened its doors March 19, 2000. The COVID-19 crisis forced the doors closed twenty years later to the day, March 19, 2020. As a loyal Aria customer for many years, I wanted to find a way to help.
 
Being a part of the Atlanta community has always been at the core of Aria’s mission statement. In times of need, Gerry and his fellow chefs have always cooked their way through problems, lending support and helping the community the best way they know how for the past three decades.
 
As someone who has seen firsthand the generosity of the Aria team, I have set up a GoFundMe page for donations that will go directly to the staff: waiters, bussers, bartenders, hostess, cooks and dishwashers. Money will be withdrawn and directly given to each of the 31 staff members. I have enlisted my husband, Eric Fishman to assist me with the distribution of funds as he cares deeply as well for the Aria family. 
 
I am reaching out to all of you, Aria fans and loyal patrons, on behalf of the Aria family in their greatest moment of need. Your thoughtful generosity will be deeply appreciated and directly impact the lives of 31 families who depend on Aria.
 
Thank you for your support.
 
Sincerely,
Bonnie Fishman
