Chihuahua Cerveza Sells “F Covid 19” T-shirt to Raise Money for NRA’s Employee Relief Fund

COSTA MESA, CA — The National Restaurant Association stated this week that 8 million restaurant workers in the U.S. have already lost their jobs due to COVID-19.

In the face of the COVID-19 economic crisis, these workers are in dire need of financial support.

Chihuahua Cerveza is offering relief through the sale of a custom designed “F COVID 19” T-shirt available on their website: Chihuahuacerveza.com/store. All profits from the sale of these t-shirts will be donated to the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Employee Relief Fund.

Phil Jamison, Chihuahua Cerveza President, has first-hand knowledge of the impact of COVID-19 because Chihuahua functions as a restaurant & taproom. Having seen how closures have businesses and employees struggling, he decided to design a T-shirt as a fundraising effort. “Even though this is a small gesture in the big scheme of things, we felt it was important to raise a few dollars and offer some much-needed levity to uplift spirits,” Jamison said. “We know that people are struggling now, but we are hopeful that we’ll soon be able to gather with our family and friends at our favorite restaurants sharing good food and a few good beers.”
