RVAStrong is a resource created by the government of the City of Richmond. It is meant to amplify and promote the efforts of non-profits, businesses, and individuals in our city, as well as provide a space for those who need support to seek it out.

Hey there! I wanted to pass along our collection of RVA-based fundraisers that were launched by local restaurants and businesses who’ve been financially impacted by COVID-19. 100% of the proceeds go straight to these businesses. You can find the collection here: https://www.bonfire.com/shop/coronavirus-relief/richmond/

This collection is updated every day with new RVA fundraisers and is a great resource for anyone in the community who’s looking to support a local restaurant.

And if any restaurants are looking to launch their own fundraiser on Bonfire, it’s 100% free to do so. Learn more about how restaurants can start their own fundraisers here: https://www.bonfire.com/fundraising/

Hope this is helpful! Thanks!
