2022 Annual Report
A food service worker asked for help from Giving Kitchen every 90 minutes in 2022. Someone experiencing a crisis out of their control; a broken ankle, an apartment fire, a miscarriage, a mental health collapse, a husband dying of cancer. Every hour and a half someone needed help to make sure they weren’t evicted or their children potentially homeless, our team was able to help with resources and financial support because of YOU. |
