Giving Kitchen
This industry asks everything of the people in it. Long hours, physical demands, emotional labor — and too often, no safety net. When a crisis hits — a medical emergency, a fire, a sudden loss — food service workers frequently have nowhere to turn.
Giving Kitchen is a nonprofit that provides emergency financial assistance to food service workers in crisis. Founded in Atlanta, they've helped thousands of workers across the country when they needed it most. Restaurant Rag is proud to be connected with their mission.
If you or someone you know is a food service worker facing a crisis, Giving Kitchen can help. No judgment. No lengthy process. Just help.
