The Restaurant Revitalization Fund is available to food-oriented businesses. Restaurants, stores, and bars can now apply for help. This funding will go a long way in helping businesses in Lake Charles and surrounding areas struggling financially due to the pandemic.

Many of the smaller food-related businesses didn't qualify for most of the government funding. Hopefully, business owners can get the assistance they need to keep their doors open.

Many restaurants and bars have not only lost revenue, but also workers and they need all the financial help they can get, especially the eateries that didn't have drive-thru windows or delivery services.

Learn more about the funding and find out if your business is eligible to receive funding. You can apply here.
