JOIN THE FUND: BUSINESS PARTNERS
FOR HOSPITALITY AND FARM PARTNERS:
Adding additional cents to your menu or retail items will make an immediate and sustainable impact to the health of the industry.
Why Farming and Hospitality?
These industries form the backbone of our communities—growing our food, preparing our meals, caring for guests, keeping storefronts running. And yet, the people doing this work are often underpaid, overworked, and overlooked when it comes to access to care.
Hospitality workers report some of the highest rates of stress and burnout of any industry. In one survey, over 70% of restaurant workers reported struggling with mental health, and nearly half of hospitality staff reported using substances to cope with stress.
Farmworkers, especially seasonal or undocumented laborers, often experience chronic physical pain, isolation, and trauma from harsh working conditions, long hours, and economic precarity—with very limited access to healthcare or therapeutic services.
Retail workers, especially in the post-pandemic economy, face customer aggression, unpredictable hours, and low wages, while also being some of the most likely to experience anxiety and depression due to high emotional labor and lack of stability.
These are the people we rely on every single day.
And they deserve access to the same nervous system care, trauma support, and body-based healing that’s often only available to the resourced few.
The Resilience Fund Collective redistributes what’s extra—the cents—to offer what’s essential: therapeutic support, nervous system education, and collective care for the people holding the front lines.
