Hurricane Beryl has continued to be a thorn in the side of Houston-area restaurants and was a sting that came at a particularly precarious time for most businesses. The post-pandemic era has brought plenty of challenges, including supply shortages and inflation, just to name a few. But amidst the gloom, there are a few organizations that are breaking through with some much-needed relief.
Recently, the Houston Hospitality Alliance donated $50,000 to the Southern Smoke Foundation and LiftFund ($25,000 each). “The recent weather events that hit our city have compounded existing financial difficulties for operators and their employees, and the HHA is doing everything it can to support those most impacted by these continuing challenges," HHA President Jonathan Horowitz said.
