Come together this October to support food service workers.
Participate or Sponsor Dining With Gratitude
During the month of October, we invite food service operators to pledge to raise vital awareness and critical funds for Giving Kitchen’s mission to support food service workers in crisis.
We provide turn-key tools that you can incorporate in each stage of your fundraising promotion or to showcase your sponsorship of the campaign.
We want to make sure that food service workers know that Giving Kitchen can help them if they should face an unanticipated crisis.
Together, we are Giving Kitchen. We help food service workers.
