Supporting Food Service Workers In Alaska, Thanks To US Foods

There are moments that remind us just how far this industry reaches, and how powerful partnership can be in carrying our mission forward. Thanks to US Foods, Giving Kitchen had the opportunity to show up in a truly special place, Anchorage, Alaska. 

For an organization rooted in supporting food service workers, being able to connect with a community all the way in Alaska is both meaningful and energizing. It’s a reflection of what’s possible when partners are committed not just to supporting the work, but to expanding its reach in tangible ways.

On March 25, 2026, at the US Foods Immersion Show in Anchorage, Alaska, that commitment came to life. A silent auction featuring 47 items, generously donated by operators, vendors, and local restaurants, raised more than $7,000 in support of Giving Kitchen’s mission to help food service workers.

Beyond the funds raised, what made this moment stand out was the connection. US Foods ensured a Giving Kitchen team member could be on the ground, sharing resources, meeting food service workers, and building relationships within the local industry.

Showing up in Alaska is no small thing, it represents a level of dedication that goes beyond traditional sponsorship. It’s about making sure food service workers, no matter how far from home base, know that support exists and is accessible.

As an Annual Corporate Partner, US Foods continues to play a vital role in helping Giving Kitchen serve food service workers nationwide. Their support helps turn moments like Anchorage into something bigger, expanding awareness, building trust, and strengthening the network of care across the industry.

Because of partners like US Foods, Giving Kitchen’s mission doesn’t stop at state lines. It reaches kitchens, restaurants, and communities across all 50 states, including places as far and inspiring as Alaska.

Thank you US Foods for all your support!
