Bartenders Benevolent Fund

FOR THE COMMUNITY.
BY THE COMMUNITY.
With so much hardship and uncertainty in our industry right now we have expanded to better serve hospitality professionals across Canada.
A DECADE OF BEING THERE FOR EACH OTHER!
We can hardly believe it's been ten years since we began our journey when we held our first Bartender Appreciation Night event at the Drake Hotel on September 16th, 2013.

We remember when we were just starting out, and now, here we are, having made such a profound difference in the lives of so many fellow hospitality professionals across Canada.

As we look back on ten years of community, compassion, and camaraderie, we invite you to an evening of celebration and gratitude on Tuesday, September 26th, 7-9pm, at the Third Place - 875 Bloor Street West, Toronto.

Raise a glass with us as we toast to the resilience of our industry and the bright future ahead.

Let's come together to honour the heart and spirit of Canada's hospitality community and the crucial role the Bartenders Benevolent Fund plays in it.

Hope to see you there. It wouldn't be the same without you!

Cheers to a decade of making a difference!

The Bartenders Benevolent Fund’s mandate is to offer support to the hospitality industry, by the hospitality industry.

TESTIMONIALS
“One day, during the usual February lull, an injury put me out of work for 10 days. I knew rent was going to be impossible. My friend reached out to Andrew and the Fund which gave me..., which covered most of my rent for March 1. It was a huge help, since I was/am not in a position to receive help financially from family.”

TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to say thank you again! Today I had to go and get insulin and diabetic supplies, and as you know, servers generally don't have benefits to cover items like these. You guys took a huge burden off of my shoulders and I will be forever grateful! I have shared your information with all those that I know in hopes of helping others as well. What you're doing is quite amazing!"
