HENDERSON, KY (March 26, 2020) – Many of us would regularly be patronizing salons, restaurants, bars, and other businesses that have been shuttered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even if we are socially isolating, we can still help support our local service industry staff. Consider gifting a “tip” to your favorite bartender, server, or stylist.
The Downtown Henderson Partnership launched a “virtual tip jar” Thursday, compiling the Venmo and PayPal accounts of Henderson service industry workers to give them a boost during financially dubious times. This was created by the Downtown Henderson Partnership to help support Henderson’s service industry workers. “People looking for ways to help in these uncertain times can now tip servers, cooks, kitchen staff, stylist and others from their favorite restaurants, bars, and salons that have been hurt in wake of COVID-19, “ says DHP Executive Director, Lindsay Locasto.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Click on Henderson Virtual Tip Jar at downtownhenderson.org
2. If you are in the service industry: fill out the form on the Google sheet to add your name to the list.
3. If you’re a citizen looking to help: choose a worker from the list and send a tip to their listed Venmo or PayPal account.
4. Share this far and wide!
If you don’t see your favorite service industry folks listed, encourage them to fill out the form.
For more information, visit www.downtownhenderson.org or contact Lindsay Locasto, executive director, at lindsay@downtownhenderson.org or 812-629-5990.
