But in 20 states, restaurant workers will be able to receive some relief thanks to Samuel Adams.
The Boston-based brewery started the fund mid-March in its hometown of Massachusetts, but expanded it to more states after seeing its success.
“Samuel Adams and The Greg Hill Foundation quickly realized the need was widespread and desire to support was even stronger,” it adds.
Samuel Adams has donated over $2 million to kick-start the fund. As of Sunday afternoon, the fund has raised nearly $2.7 million, according to the website.
To qualify for the grant, an individual must have worked at a restaurant, bar, cafe or nightclub located in one of the 20 states, been a full-time employee, and employed for three months or longer at the same location.
“Samuel Adams got its start in the beloved bars and restaurants of Boston 35 years ago and simply would not be where it is today without the people in those establishments who have supported us since the very beginning,” Samuel Adams said in a statement to CNN. “During this unprecedented time, we’re honored to give back to the community that has had our backs for so long with the Restaurant Strong Fund.”
