Cooking & Conversations
with Chef Kenji Lopez and Friends for COVID Relief and APAHM
Tomorrow, Sunday May 31, 2020
5pm PT / 8pm ET
Just as frontline healthcare workers appear to turn a corner during this harrowing time,
our country is facing an urgent community hunger crisis, astronomical in scale.
We are raising an additional $1.5M to serve as many meals to food insecure populations as we can during this time.
Rallying around our neighbors in need
Lend A Hand
In these times of crisis, we are providing economic relief to COVID-impacted restaurant employees and feeding families and individuals facing hunger.
We can do more than stay home. Our work is powered by a coalition of socially-minded restaurant owners, hospital leaders, community organizers, passionate private citizens, and generous donors. If you would like to join our effort or contribute in a creative way, please email hello@offtheirplate.org.
Our mission is simple

Revive Restaurants
We direct funds to partner restaurants so they may continue to employ their staff and equip them to meet COVID-informed food prep protocols.
