Food service workers spend every shift taking care of other people. They serve our meals, ensure our dining experiences are memorable, and keep the hospitality industry running. But when a crisis hits their own lives, who’s there to take care of them?
That’s where Giving Kitchen’s Stability Network comes in. We’re excited to share some major highlights from our programs and partnerships that are making a real difference in the lives of food service workers across the country.
When a crisis hits, it can raise some pretty basic questions—like “Where am I going to sleep this week?”
Giving Kitchen is proud to announce a new partnership with Red Roof Inn. Through this national partnership, food service workers can get 15% off their stay at any Red Roof Inn location.
Here’s how it works: When a food service worker Asks For Help from Giving Kitchen and needs somewhere safe to stay, their Stability Network case manager helps them navigate Red Roof Inn’s locations and find a room that works for them.
✅No lease required
✅ No credit check
✅ A safe place to land while figuring out what comes next
This is our first national partnership focused on housing insecurity, and we can’t thank Red Roof Inn enough for making room for food service workers in need.
