INDUSTRY SUPPORT
We’re very grateful for the help we’re receiving from our friends in the hospitality industry, but unfortunately it won’t make up for the revenue we’ve lost as a result of having to cancel scheduled fundraising events. We are thinking strategically so we’ll be able to continue to do the work we love, and that will continue to be needed in the future. 

Thanks to everyone for their support during this challenging time!

The BCHF is based on the idea that we in the hospitality industry should help our own – and we’re delighted that during the challenge of COVID-19 we’re getting so much support from wineries, restaurants, and more. 

You can help by choosing to make purchases that support our supporters! 

Below is a list of promotions currently running that benefit the BCHF.

Serving it Forward - The CPBA is creating a virtual auction fundraiser to support hospitality businesses with items that speak hospitality:
"a unique experience such as dining packages
which consumers would bid on and enjoy at a time when it is safe to do so".

Experiences could range from private tastings to chef dinners or any other creative ideas you can come up with.

Those businesses who donate an experience will have a choice of how the funds generated from the sale are used:

1) The business can receive the money from their auction item directly and decide
what to do with it internally. Upon receiving money from the bid, payouts happen
within 5 business days.

OR

2) Donate the proceeds of the auction item to your choice of either the CPBA
Relief Measures Fund or the BC Hospitality Foundation. Both of these respected
organizations have been supporting out of work or sick hospitality workers
throughout COVID-19.

If you would like to submit an item to the virtual auction, please fill out THIS FORM .

INFORMATION AND WELLBEING LINKS

We have a COVID19 information and wellbeing links page on our website that may be of interest.
The BCHF is a charity that supports hospitality workers facing financial crisis due to a health condition. These are the people who work in your favourite restaurants, wineries, breweries, bars, and hotels. Often with limited access to benefits or financial aid, our beneficiaries have nowhere else to turn if a health condition arises. Your support has a meaningful impact by getting them back on their feet again.
