"One Team" Relief Fund

Donation protected
In this incredibly challenging time, there are so many individuals in the hospitality industry who count on their weekly income to pay their rent and provide food for themselves and their families. Every member of our organization at 23 Restaurant Services (Ford's Garage, Yeoman's Cask & Lion, and Capone's Coal Fired Pizza) has been affected. This includes significant wage reduction that has helped keep as many people as possible working to hundreds of team members who have lost their jobs. 
 
We remain committed to helping our team members as we all face this global pandemic by providing up to 8,000 meals each week for our teammates to put food on their tables at home during this time of crisis. We are doing this by providing food for up to four people to more than 1,000 team members, twice a week.  
 
The senior management team at 23 Restaurant Services is organizing this fundraiser to support team members who have lost their job or had their wages cut. We have one partner who has contributed to this effort with a $20,000 donation, and we hope to raise more than $60,000 so we can continue to feed these families in need for as long as this crisis continues.  
 
We are asking the community to support this effort by making a donation to ensure those employees who put food on your table will be able to do the same at their homes.  
 
Your generous donation—whether it is $10, $50, $100, $500 or more is greatly appreciated––and will directly support the people who have been tirelessly working to make our restaurants amazing. Every dollar counts and no donation is too small. You also can help by sharing this GoFundMe page on social media to help get the word out. Donations will be used to purchase food distributed to team members as prepared meals or pantry items—at the choice of the team members receiving the support. Your donation is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law and 100% (less the standard transaction fee) of it will go directly to help feed more than 1,000 people during this time of need. 
 
Food will be provided twice per week to team members as a combination of prepared meals and through distribution of typical household pantry items such as milk, rice, eggs, produce, vegetables, etc. Every team member will be given the option to pick up food for their families at their home location or nearby location if their location is temporarily closed. We are communicating with team members so we are aware of their preferences—receiving prepared meals or pantry items at their home location or a nearby location. We plan to distribute meals/pantry items on Tuesdays and Fridays. 
  
Your support can have a huge positive impact on the livelihood of these employees.
