Seen & Heard: The latest fundraisers for local businesses

WALKER’S SETS UP GOFUNDME
The Walker’s team is seeking support for its staff: “Corona/Covid-19 as we all know has shut down the bar and restaurant industry indefinitely. The service staff for many establishments depend solely on gratuities for their livelihoods. This will help support them in this time of need. The Walker’s team thanks you in advance!”

FUND FOR TINY’S AND ITS SISTERS AND BROTHERS
Neighborhood Projects has closed its five Tribeca restaurants — Tiny’s & The Bar Upstairs, Smith & Mills, Yves, Holy Ground and Warren 77 — and has created a GoFundMe page for its team members. You can find it here.

LIVE WELL COMPANY FUNDRAISER
The Live Well Company has also started a fund for its trainers and employees through GoFundMe. Find it here. “Even a small donation could help Anne Marie Imbornone reach their fundraising goal. And if you can’t make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.”

SEAMORE’S FUNDRAISING FOR STAFF
Seamore’s has started a GoFundMe page for its staff, with the goal to raise $50k. “Like others in our community, we had to make the painful decision to lay-off over 150 Seamore’s team members at our six locations with an unknown rehire date. Despite great news from Washington, our staff still needs support. So we ask our family, friends, and neighbors to help some of the best New Yorkers out there – our Seamore’s family, during this crisis. A donation can really make a difference for a team-member on unemployment.”

Out of an abundance of caution, Bubby’s has decided to close temporarily to take extra measures to protect our staff and customers. As always, safety is our highest priority and we encourage everyone to continue to stay home and healthy. During this time we will perform a thorough cleaning of our facilities. We are so grateful to our customers and we look forward to serving you again very soon. Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, we hope you will consider supporting our team by donating to our GoFundMe account at the link in bio. You can also still purchase pancake mix, t-shirts, gift cards and other merch on our website (note: shipping for these items might be slightly delayed). Thanks again to our strong community, we will all get through this together.
