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.

In March of 2020, when restaurants first faced COVID-19 restrictions, we recognized an immediate crisis. In less than 72 hours, our group created a delivery system to provide grocery items, diapers, pet food, cleaning supplies, and other donated products to impacted workers across Allegheny County and even parts of southwestern PA. In this nearly 3-year period, PRWA’s board members and staff, along with an incredible number of service industry volunteers, donors, and allies, have provided weekly support for restaurant workers and their families. Beyond simply providing material basics and some relief from financial pressure, this effort and the workers that have sustained it made one thing very clear: when our bosses and our government won’t have our backs, Pittsburgh’s restaurant workers fight for one another.

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.

For now, we simply thank you for laboring alongside us these past 3 years – for your volunteer hours, donations, and overall support. Let’s keep fighting together!
