Join Us for Dining With Gratitude

Giving Kitchen’s Dining With Gratitude campaign unites operators, suppliers, and vendors nationwide to support food service workers in crisis and help fund the need.

Through a fundraising promotion, operators educate their teams about Giving Kitchen’s resources while increasing awareness among guests in their communities.

By supporting Giving Kitchen, you show that your organization values its people, setting you apart from the competition.  Suppliers, vendors and service companies have the flexibility to make a direct donation or conduct a cause marketing promotion to raise funds.

 Join us to support food service workers and show your commitment to building a community of care!

Need fundraising ideas?

A fundraising promotion can be engineered to drive sales, engage employees and invite guests to donate to receive something in return. We offer guides to help.

For Operators:

Guest generosity driven donations:

  • Bounce Back or Thank You Offer – can drive repeat business, introduce new products, or increase guest checks.
  • Pin up promotion, can be added to a bounce back offer
  • Round Up Promotion

Product Promotions: Limited Time Offers (LTO’’s) Embed the donation amount into the menu price. Partner with your supplier for a discount, or donated product.

Special events: Host a special event, dinner, tasting, brunch, golf tournament… get creative, have fun, sell tickets, and a set dollar amount or percentage for each ticket, meal or mulligan sold. Invite a local celebrity, or newscaster, for a remote broadcast and/or photo opportunity to attract guests.
