Employee Funds
533 Viet Fusion & Roly China Fusion Employee Fund
Show your support for the staff of locally beloved restaurants Roly China Fusion and 533 Viet Fusion this year. Due to the recent COVID-19 restrictions, a number of hardworking individuals have been laid off this month. Restaurant owner Chad Gardner has started a GoFundMe fundraiser to support his employees during these tough times. In addition, 100% of the proceeds from gift card sales will also be donated to the restaurants' team.
Jake's
This charming Palm Springs eatery has been serving delicious food and cocktails in our culinary oasis for years. Aside from Jake's amazing food and atmosphere, one of the main draws is their friendly staff, committed to providing every guest with a wonderful dining experience. Unfortunately, as a result of the pandemic, co-owners Christopher Malm and Bruce Bloch have been forced to lay off several employees. In an effort to provide aid to their team members, they have set up a GoFundMe fundraiser for anyone looking to show their support this jolly season.
