What and Who is Restaurants Respond?
Restaurants Respond is an initiative to coordinate disaster response efforts by and for the restaurant community.
There is no Restaurants Respond organization. It is simply a group of associations, restaurants, foodservice companies, and their employees and guests from across the country united in the effort to help those affected by disasters.
How can I help with the Restaurants Respond effort?
If you are in the restaurant industry, ask your fellow owners and operators, employees, and guests to join us. Refer them to www.RestaurantsRespond.com.
Donate or volunteer with one of the vetted charities.
And join our conversation on social media using #RestaurantsRespond
Every donation makes a meaningful difference, but our chosen charities have asked us not to send in cash donations. Please combine the cash donations and write a check for that amount payable to the charity or charities .
What should we do with any cash donations we receive to respond to a disaster?
Are donations tax deductible?
Each vetted charity has information on its website about the tax deductibility of donations. Donations to the Texas Restaurant Relief Fund are tax-deductible, subject to applicable laws and IRS regulations.
