Southern California Gas Company has contributed $1 million in aid to help small restaurant owners through the Restaurants Care Resilience Fund. The Restaurants Care Resilience Fund is a program made possible by contributions from Southern California Gas Company, PG&E, and SDG&E for grants in the amount of $3,000 to independent restaurants. Grants will be awarded to restaurants for kitchen equipment upgrades or retention bonuses.
