To help keep people in their community afloat, some social media users have created Adopt a Restaurant Worker groups on Facebook, where people can provide financial support and connect unemployed workers with future work.
One early group started in St. Louis, Missouri, where nurse Sheri Ford-Beezley worked with co-workers to establish STL Adopt-A-Server in mid March. I have several friends who are bar and restaurant owners, bartenders, servers and cooks, Ford-Beezley said. I was desperate to try to find a way to help them. . The St. Louis group grew exponentially. It was insane.
While the group did have to come to an end with over a thousand members, moderating the page became too much work for Ford-Beezley and other group administrators, most of whom had full-time jobs in teaching and nursing it spawned several other local groups nearby, including in areas like Kansas City and Central Ohio.
