“Since 2021, the Restaurants Care Resilience Fund has awarded $7.3 million in grants to 1,603 independent restaurants across California—supporting burger joints, taquerias, bakeries, and more that are the heart of our communities. In 2025, Restaurants Care Resilience Fund is offering two grant opportunities to help restaurants thrive: $10,000 grants for LA County restaurants and food trucks impacted by the 2025 LA Fires and $5,000 grants for restaurants and commercial caterers in select CA counties to build resilience.” The current application window concludes on April 26th.
Alycia Harshfield, President, California Restaurant Foundation, joins us with the specifics.
