Comp Tab is a community-based relief fund created by and for hospitality professionals. Our relief fund is a collective and equitable source of financial aid and resources for those in the Chicago Metropolitan Area immediately affected by statewide closures.
FAQ
I work in the food, beverage and hospitality industry in Chicago, how do I apply?
Click the ‘Apply for Aid’ button above. Support Staff, in partnership with a variety of local community members and advocates, have worked diligently on our application. A Spanish translation is available as well, please reach out to info@pleasehustleresponsbily.org
I do not live in the greater Chicago area, can I still apply for aid?
Unfortunately, no. We are a small team with limited state-wide, or nation-wide reach, and want to be realistic with the scope of our work. If you live outside of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, please check out the following nation-wide relief funds and resources.
