Restaurant Industry Hurricane Relief
New Orleans is considered by many to be one
of the most important food and beverage capitals.
The Cresent City houses approximately 10,700 foodservice
establishments and employs roughly 200,000 hospitality
workers who are now without jobs and housing for
the foreseeable future. In an effort to help victims
of Hurricane Katrina we are asking the hospitality
community to reach out and hire – and provide
relocation assistance - to as many of these displaced
individuals throughout the southeast as possible.
We are posting a special “Help New Orleans’
Culinary Community” section on our homepage
and in our newsletters and would like to include
all employers who participate on our site that
would like to help.
