Support Trio’s Dedicated Team During This Transition
Dear cherished friends, neighbors, and longtime patrons,
As many of you know, after 75 wonderful years serving the Dupont Circle community, Trio has closed its doors. While this chapter of our story has come to an end, we remain deeply committed to supporting the incredible team that has made Trio such a special place for decades.
Our staff members have devoted years of hard work, passion, and care to our restaurant, including:
- Jenifer Ali – 35 years
- Rosa Turcios – 32 years
- Nadia Benjelloun – 16 years
- Oscar Gutierrez – 18 years
- Simon Rychlik – 9 years
- Ana Martinez – 9 years
- Sarah Benjelloun – 12 years
Together, they’ve supported 15 families, providing stability, putting children through school, and creating a strong foundation for our community.
Now, they face an uncertain future. We are raising funds to help these long-serving employees navigate this transition with financial support. Your contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to those who have given so much to Trio.
Please consider donating here: https://gofund.me/242fa402a
Even if you cannot donate, sharing this campaign with others will make a tremendous difference. Let’s come together to give back to those who have given so much to all of us.
With sincere gratitude,
Mourad Benjelloun
