SUPPORT RESTAURANTS, SUPPORT COMMUNITIES

The mission of the TX Restaurant Relief Fund is to provide financial support to independent restaurants in Texas with funds designed to save employee jobs, rebuild foodservice communities, and provide relief in times of need. Born out of the financial crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the relief fund raised and distributed more than $3.5 million to support over 800 independent restaurants and their employees during the pandemic, all while feeding communities in need.

Today, the TX Restaurant Relief Fund continues to serve its mission by raising and distributing aid when disaster strikes the restaurant community in Texas or beyond. By uniting as one restaurant community under the Restaurants Respond© banner, we can combine the spirit of hospitality with the strength of Texans to help our neighbors in need. 

The TX Restaurant Relief Fund is a project of the Texas Restaurant Foundation—a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on the education and development of Texas’ restaurant industry workforce. Donations are tax-deductible in keeping with applicable laws, regulations, and IRS rules. All funds directed towards a specific event will help rebuild and restore the local foodservice industry that serves their community so well.
