Fundraiser helps Spokane restaurant employees while feeding health care heroes

Local restaurants have raised tens of thousands of dollars to keep their staff employed while showing appreciation to health care heroes.

Jordan Tampien is part-owner of Goodwin Group Properties, which includes Brick West Brewing Company, The Backyard Public House, Remedy Kitchen & Tavern and Barnwood Social.

He and his team launched a GoFundMe called “Help a Restaurant, Help a Hero” that is aimed at getting staff back to work while donating meals to medical workers and first responders.

“These medical professionals and first responders don’t always get a lot of notoriety for what they do,” Tampien told the Downtown Spokane Partnership. “While this fundraiser allows for us to keep our doors open, it also gives these local heroes the recognition they deserve.”
