Supporting restaurant workers in Allegheny County
Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid provides resources and community support to restaurant and hospitality workers who have lost financial, housing, food, and healthcare security.
Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid (PRWA) has made the difficult decision to end our care package program. Our final day of care package deliveries will be Saturday, February 4.
Even since the start of the pandemic, we have been clear that COVID-19 did not cause the problems of our industry - it exacerbated inequalities and harm that have long existed. Given that reality, PRWA has decided to take a step back from the care package program to consider new strategies that will allow us to devote our limited time and resources to addressing the root causes of restaurant workers' continued financial and social insecurity. True systemic change is necessary, and we must adapt to meet the scale of the problem.
“Our industry is used to depending on one another, but industry support is not enough. The aid is tapped out.”
— Kacy McGill, Co-Founder & Co-Director of Pittsburgh Restaurant Workers Aid
