Help & Hope for Hospitality Workers

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced so many of our local hospitality industry businesses to either close or drastically reduce hours.  Many employees are now out of work.  The Dayton Convention & Visitors Bureau will continue to update this page with resources for displaced workers and ways you can help these furloughed workers.  In addition, we have compiled other COVID-19 health and safety information on a dedicated page of resources.
