COVID-19 Relief Efforts

In partnership with Maker’s Mark, The LEE Initiative and Chef Edward Lee, Tuk Tuk and the team from LexUNITE turned Great Bagel’s Boston Road location into a restaurant workers relief center. We operated for restaurant workers who have been laid off or had a significant reduction in hours and/or pay.

At the outset of the COVID-19 crisis in Kentucky, we mobilized to create SICK-KY, a page of resources to support the state’s service industry professionals. Team Tuk Tuk is currently working on LEE Initiative efforts in Lexington and nationwide. To donate or for more information, please visit LEEInitiative.org.
