Final Burger Benefit Brings the Community Together at NFA Dunwoody

12 de mayo de 2026

NFA Burger's Third and Final Annual Burger Benefit

On the first Sunday of May, the parking lot outside NFA Burger became something much bigger than a burger event. It became a gathering place for chefs, restaurant workers, burger fans, volunteers, sponsors, and neighbors, all coming together with one shared purpose: supporting food service workers in crisis.

The Final Burger Benefit in Dunwoody, fueled by Georgia Natural Gas, raised an incredible $37,062 for Giving Kitchen. But beyond the number, the day was a reminder of what makes the food service industry so special: people showing up for one another.

A Day Built on Community and Generosity

NFA Burger Benefit 2026

From the moment the grills fired up, there was an energy that could only come from restaurant people helping restaurant people. Chefs traveled from across the country to cook shoulder-to-shoulder for a cause they believe in. Every burger served represented someone giving their time, talent, and heart back to the industry that has given so much to them.

For the last three Burger Benefit fundraisers, every chef has brought more than just a burger to the event. They brought stories, friendships, and a deep connection to the hospitality community. Guests were encouraged to stay, hang out, and connect with the chefs throughout the day, creating an experience that felt personal, welcoming, and full of gratitude.
