Our hospitality workers are having an even tougher life with the risks of COVID and their interaction with the public as part of their job. Getting sick from COVID, plus having other underlying health conditions, or being diagnosed with an issue that requires hospitalization is terrible. We do have hospitality workers who do get sick and need our help so that they have money for food, housing, etc. The BC Hospitality Foundation helps out hospitality workers that need help due to health conditions. The BCHF has an online lottery where you can bid to win local getaway prizes and help our hospitality workers in need. Tickets go on sale on Oct 13, 2020. Here is the BCHF press release.
