Group Sets Up Fund For North Shore Restaurant Workers
Behind You is accepting donations for restaurant employees that live or work in Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott.
SALEM, MA — A Salem-based nonprofit is collecting donations for restaurant employees that are out of work because of closings related to the new coronavirus.
Behind You was formed in 1999 and offers needs-based emergency assistance funds for restaurant employees that live or work in Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott and have medical hardship preventing them from working for at least four weeks. Workers can apply for support from the new, emergency fund if they are laid off or see their hours cut because of the state-ordered closure of dine-in restaurant operations.
We set up an emergency fund for food service workers in Marblehead, Beverly, Salem, Swampscott, Peabody and Lynn. Pls support ppl in bars & restaurants. If you‘re an owner, pls ensure staff know they can apply for funds here. After you donate, please RT. https://t.co/8WqwuY56tG
