Team Hidi is joyful on purpose because the work on the other side of joy is urgent. When a cook faces an unexpected medical bill or a server loses hours after an accident, we step in quickly with emergency assistance and resources. Crisis doesn’t wait—and because of you, we don’t have to either.
Relive Team Hidi! Here are a few moments we’ll be thinking about for a long time.
When you attend events like Team Hidi, you’re helping keep rent paid, lights on, and pathways to resources open for cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, and managers across our industry. You’re making stories like Lauren’s possible — showing up as a community neighbor so that when a crisis strikes and someone asks for help, they can find it.
After a serious car accident left her unable to work, she faced mounting bills and uncertainty. Encouraged by peers, she reached out to Giving Kitchen after a quick application process and was connected to a case manager. She was awarded financial assistance within days, which covered her rent during recovery. Today, she’s healed, back at work, and paying it forward — reminding others that Asking For Help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
