Corso/Rivoli Employee Relief Fund

Dear Friends of Corso and Rivoli,

As you know, the devastating impacts of COVID-19 are widespread in our East Bay restaurant community. The next few weeks will be particularly challenging for the employees of Corso/Rivoli. Each one of us has lost access to our means of livelihood due to the closure of our restaurant’s doors for dinner service. As a local business, our success depends on our local patrons.

The 55 tightly knit employees that make up our two restaurants are reaching out to our community for support in this difficult time. We are raising funds to aid with rent, medical bills, and day to day living expenses to keep us financially afloat until our restaurant can get back on its feet.

100% of funds donated will be split between everyone . Our goal is to raise $1000 for every member of our staff. In accordance with GoFundMe’s policy, one person will be withdrawing the funds into their account, and from there we have assembled a team to distribute to everyone in a timely fashion. With 55 employees receiving money from this campaign, we will pay everyone through Venmo/cash once the money has been deposited into the bank account. We appreciate anything you can contribute to get us through these next few weeks until we can return to work.

The familiar smiling faces you have come to know over the years at Corso/Rivoli are sincerely grateful to you for any assistance that you can offer, and we cannot wait to be at your service again! 

With gratitude,

The Rivoli/Corso Restaurant Staff
