Are you a service worker struggling amidst the coronavirus crisis?
We’re here to help!
During these uncertain times the USBG Foundation strives to be a resource for our bar industry community.
Apply for Aid or leave a tip for Oahu’s displaced restaurant workers. In response to watching restaurants lay off mass amounts of employees across Honolulu, we have decided to band together as a community to support one another. Following the lead of cities around the country, we created a virtual way to tip and support individuals in the restaurant industry. On our web page/ spreadsheet you will find a growing list of Honolulu restaurant professionals (bartenders, servers, hosts, chefs etc.) from your local restaurants who have either currently been laid off due to recent closures or who have had their income dramatically reduced due to COVID-19 and are in need of financial help.
The Hawai‘i Resilience Fund was created to rapidly deploy resources to <b>community nonprofits</b> and health care providers who are working on the ground to address the COVID-19 pandemic in Hawai‘i.
HCF is working in close collaboration with state leaders, non-profit organizations, businesses, and philanthropists to get a clear understanding of the quickly-evolving priorities in our community. Grant reviews happen daily using our four-phase approach to resilience, outlined below. If you are a nonprofit in need of funding, please visit our grantee page here.

Not yet in Honolulu, but a great project.
We are facing an unprecedented emergency, unlike anything this country has experienced. Beyond the health impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus, our economy has ground to a halt — schools and businesses are closed, travel is restricted, and restaurants face an uncertain future. Traditional safety nets like school feeding programs, childcare services, and senior centers are struggling to stay open.
The reality is stark, but simple: Millions of Americans are out of work and struggling to put food on the table for their families.
But this moment is not without hope. We will get through this, and World Central Kitchen has seen what’s possible as we’ve fought on the front lines in Japan and California deploying systems to deliver meals to quarantined cruise ship passengers. Our Relief Team is now serving nearly 100,000 meals every day across the country, and we need you. Together, #ChefsForAmerica can make sure nobody is left behind.
