If I hadn’t received the funds I did, I wouldn’t have had enough to pay for the rent.
From dinners on the patio and catered celebrations to food trucks at summer concerts, our favorite moments are made possible by food service workers. While we enjoy the season, they’re working long, hot days to keep our communities nourished and connected.
Giving Kitchen provides emergency assistance to food service workers through financial support and a network of community resources.
This summer, your gift will support food service workers in crisis and keep their families stay in their homes with the A/C on and water running.
Help Us Unlock Matching Funds
Your gift today will be matched by the Brill Family up to $5,000 – effectively doubling your impact for food service workers in crisis. Give by July 31 to take advantage of this opportunity!
This summer, a food service worker has reached out to Giving Kitchen for help every 32 minutes; and in June alone, we saw a 200% increase in Asks for Help compared to this time last year. The need is urgent. Your matched gift today ensures we can keep showing up.
