Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf of food service workers in crises? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to Giving Kitchen, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. In this way, you can double the impact of your giving.
