A heartfelt thank you to our partner, EMPLOYERS, for supporting NCRLA’s Workers’ Relief Fund. Your generosity brings hope and relief to North Carolina’s hospitality community in challenging times. ♥️
After back-to-back natural disasters in the Southeast, America’s workforce has been on the front lines of recovery. From the hospitality workers who stepped in to feed families working to put the pieces back together, to the lodging professionals who kept their doors open and hope alive amid darkness, we see you. EMPLOYERS has pledged $10,000 to the North Carolina Restaurant & Lodging Association (NCRLA)’s Worker’s Relief Fund which is providing disaster assistance and relief grants to North Carolina restaurants, hotels, suppliers, partners, and employees in need after the devastating impact from Hurricane Helene. And a bit further south, we’ve donated $15,000 to the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association (FRLA) to aid in recovery efforts for those who have been impacted by Hurricane Milton. The need doesn’t stop here. See how you can lend a hand by visiting the linked association profiles above.
