Latona Pub Staff Support: Covid19 Reductions
Donation protected
COVID-19 in Seattle and across America: It's time for us to help those that have helped us for so long--our front- and back-of-house friends at Latona Pub.
Consider making a donation today in the amount of what you would have spent in tips over the course of two weeks. $20 dollars keeps it easy and will make a big difference if we all lean in to help shoulder the load.
Like many Seattle restaurants, Latona Pub is running at reduced levels and hours starting on March 18th, and this represents a huge financial burden for the staff. Those of us that are still earning their regular money on a regular basis have an opportunity to help those who aren't.
Not only can we help the Latona staff directly, but by keeping money in their pockets we can help them spend and thereby help the economy at large.
While this won't solve the whole problem, it will reduce anxiety at an already-anxious time, and it will have a very direct impact on our friends' ability to keep going in a way that is more normal.
And we could all use a little "more normal" right now.
Details:
GoFundMe charges $0.30 and 2.7% per transaction; this will be deducted from any amount you donate. Otherwise, any money raised here will be given to the Latona Pub staff who's regular earnings include tips, and will be split between front-of-house and back-of-house in their regular ratio, and in proportion to typical shift schedules: I will work closely with Carter to distribute the funds in the same fashion as they would under normal circumstances.
Thank you!
Thanks to everyone at Latona for making such a special place, and for taking care us for so many years--it's such a special place because it has such special people. Cheers.
