The hospitality industry is hurting right now, and United Way of Southeast Louisiana is here to help. UWSELA provided one-time $500 crisis grants to hospitality professionals who are out of work and struggling to afford basic needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grants were funded by UWSELA’s Hospitality Cares Pandemic Response Fund – created in partnership with the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation and Entergy – which surpassed the million-dollar mark at the end of March thanks to the generous support of countless individuals, businesses and community foundations.
