Small retailers and restaurants continue to face challenges that slow their economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress is considering legislation right now that includes billions of grant relief dollars to help struggling small businesses recover and serve their communities.

H.R. 3807, the Relief for Restaurants and other Hard Hit Small Businesses Act of 2022, includes $42 billion to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and an additional $13 billion for a new aid program directed at other small businesses that lost revenue during the pandemic such as small retailers, to access grant funding. This bill is critical to small businesses that that didn’t receive aid in previous COVID-19 relief packages.

The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in bipartisan fashion in early April 2022. This critical relief legislation is now under consideration in the Senate.

Contact your senators now and tell them to support H.R. 3807, the Relief for Restaurants and other Hard Hit Small Businesses Act of 2022.
