The Ohio Restaurant Employee Relief Fund was established as a collaborative effort between the Ohio Restaurant Association and its Education Foundation to provide emergency funding for personnel in the foodservice industry. Ohio restaurants employ more than 585,000 of your friends, neighbors and family. We have all experienced exemplary hospitality, celebrated life’s biggest moments, enjoyed a relaxing meal as well as received a donation from a favorite restaurant.  Financial contributions from the general public, charitable foundations, and businesses are encouraged to support the Ohio Restaurant Association Education Foundation to remain steadfast in providing financial relief to individuals and their families during times of emergencies and crisis.
