The retail and restaurant industries were two of the hardest-hit sectors of the economy by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Even though restaurants experienced challenges comparable to those of retailers, Congress singled out restaurants for a direct aid program called the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. This program provides additional grant funding to restaurants to aid their economic recovery that they do not have to repay.
Discussions are underway in Washington about replenishing the RRF, and we need you to tell Congress to expand the eligible pool of recipients to include small retailers that have experienced similar challenges as restaurants.
Small retailers deserve the same opportunity as restaurants to rebuild their businesses and serve their communities. Tell Congress to continue funding the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and expand eligibility to small retailers today.

I request that you help small retailers rebuild their businesses and serve their communities by replenishing the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and expanding eligibility to small retailers to receive RRF grant funding.

The retail and restaurant industries were two of the hardest-hit sectors of the economy by the COVID-19 pandemic. Small retailers and restaurants alike were deemed "nonessential" and faced government-mandated closures and restrictions on operations, which led to substantial revenue losses. 

Even though small retailers experienced comparable challenges, Congress only created a direct aid grant program for restaurants, leaving behind Main Street retailers that serve communities alongside restaurants.

Small retailers continue to face challenges that slow their economic recovery, including rising inflation, supply chain backlogs and labor shortages. They deserve the same opportunity as restaurants to rebuild their businesses and serve their communities. Please support continued funding for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and expand eligibility to small retailers.
