This fundraiser is for the employees of Mezzaluna, the longtime Italian restaurant on 3rd Avenue in New York City that is closing after more than 40 years. After months of uncertainty, the restaurant is closing its doors, and the workers who spent years serving the Upper East Side now need to find new jobs.

Mezzaluna's staff supported their families by working long hours and feeding this community well. Now they are facing the sudden loss of steady work, with the holiday season approaching.

All funds raised will be given to management to distribute to the staff. This support will help workers as they look for new jobs and handle the immediate pressure of losing work so suddenly.

If Mezzaluna has meant something to you, or if you want to stand with the employees who served this neighborhood for so long, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser.
