22 Sacramento County restaurants got grants to pay staff. Is your favorite among them?
The California Restaurant Association announced the 318 recipients of its $1.25 million grant pool this week, including 22 Sacramento County restaurants.
Each restaurant received up to $3,500 to be used for payroll-related expenses, plus support services funded by Wells Fargo throughout the next year. PG&E, SoCalGas and San Diego Gas and Electric funded the grants.
The restaurants had to be single units, employ fewer than 50 staff members, be currently open and have lost at least 20% in revenue from 2019-20. Nearly 1,000 restaurants applied statewide, according to a CRA press release.
Preference was given to businesses owned by women and people of color, which made up 65% and 83% of the 318 grant recipients statewide respectively. These Sacramento County restaurants were among the winners.
