As a preface, here at Food & Dining Magazine we help spread the word about APRON Inc. as often as possible.
APRON Inc. was created in 2011 to help provide financial relief to food and beverage industry workers in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area who find themselves in need during times of crises.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, APRON Inc. has stepped up with a far greater volume of assistance to local workers than ever before. In all, $1.25 million in grants have been distributed to more than 1,200 employees from more than 180 restaurants.
“We are immensely proud of the help we were able to give back to our community, and are humbled beyond words at the immense community, corporate, and foundation support we received throughout the past few years.”
