Help Us Unlock Matching Funds
Your gift today will be matched by the Sunday Gravy Fund up to $20,000 – effectively doubling your impact for food service workers in crisis. Give by June 30 to take advantage of this opportunity!
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.

Your Gift Offers Stability
Help us provide utility and housing payments to food service workers in crisis by making a donation today. Your generosity directly helps a food service worker in crisis and their family stay in their home with the utilities paid when facing their hardest days. You make stability possible when it’s needed most.
