Serving NM Fund
An Employee Assistance Fund for New Mexico Restaurant WorkersThe Serving New Mexico Fund offers financial assistance to restaurant and other hospitality workers facing an unanticipated hardship. The Serving NM Fund is part of the Hospitality Industry Education Foundation a 501 (c) 3 Charitable Organization.
The Serving New Mexico Fund is adminstered by the Hospitality Industry Education Fund (HIEF). HIEF is a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization.
Many hospitality workers in NM have multiple jobs and very little savings so when hardship falls upon them they fall behind. In these trying times we want to do as much as we can for displaced restaurant employees in NM.
This fund will allow NM’s dedicated hospitality workers to apply for small grants to help them get by until this emergency is over.
What’s Next?
Food operations in New Mexico should refer employees to the fund for unanticipated hardships.
Due to the COVID-19 Crisis, 7 out of 10 restaurant operators have laid off employees and reduced the number of hours worked.
Roughly 50% more anticipate doing more of this in the next month.
Nationally, the industry has lost more than 3 million jobs and $25 billion in sales since March 1.
