This new series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/grants-in-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grants In Action<\/a>, highlights the breadth of causes and organizations NPT\u2019s donors are supporting with grant recommendations from their donor-advised fund accounts. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restaurant and food service workers have always been a vital part of the communities we live in, and early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC confirmed this, categorizing restaurant employees as essential workers alongside doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But while service workers are essential, they\u2019re also a vulnerable group due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/publication\/restaurant-workers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">low wages and lack of health care<\/a>. These pre-existing factors have compounded their risk during the pandemic. A study from the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/536948-line-cooks-agriculture-workers-at-highest-risk-of-covid-19-death-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of California, San Francisco<\/a> reported that line cooks had the single highest-risk job in terms of contracting and dying from COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is remarkable to consider when, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iag\/tgs\/iag72.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, food service workers total more than 13 million workers. This means, for tens of millions of Americans, the person delivering a pizza, managing a dining hall, or showing diners to their table is someone they know and love. Thankfully, there are nonprofits providing for food service workers in need. One of those is Atlanta-based <a href=\"https:\/\/thegivingkitchen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giving Kitchen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established in 2013 out of the Atlanta restaurant scene, Giving Kitchen helps food service workers in both Georgia and Tennessee with emergency financial and social services assistance. The organization can cover up to $1,800 for rent and basic living expenses\u2014especially helpful for those who have experienced hardships like natural disasters, accidents, illness, injuries, or the loss of a family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"quote-container scroll-watch\">\t\n            <svg width=\"72px\" height=\"52px\" viewBox=\"0 0 72 52\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                    <g transform=\"translate(-405.000000, -1977.000000)\" fill=\"#02B5CC\">\n                        <g transform=\"translate(350.000000, 1278.000000)\">\n                            <g transform=\"translate(55.000000, 647.000000)\">\n                                <path d=\"M40.3135498,103.84 L40.3135498,83.2493458 C40.3135498,59.0250467 61.5991041,52.3633645 72,52 L72,62.9009346 C63.5341545,63.8699065 58.212766,68.1091589 57.7290034,76.708785 L72,76.708785 L72,103.84 L40.3135498,103.84 Z M0,103.84 L0,83.2493458 C0,59.0250467 21.2855543,52.3633645 31.6864502,52 L31.6864502,62.9009346 C23.2206047,63.8699065 17.8992161,68.1091589 17.4154535,76.708785 L31.6864502,76.708785 L31.6864502,103.84 L0,103.84 Z\"><\/path>\n                            <\/g>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/svg>\n    \t\t\t<h2>In 2021, Giving Kitchen provided aid for more than 2,700 individuals and their families, including $1.4 million in financial hardship assistance for many food services workers impacted by COVID-19.<\/h2>\n    \t\t<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving Kitchen Co-Founder and Senior Director of Community Engagement, Jennifer Hidinger-Kendrick, puts it simply: \u201cWe are here to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help goes beyond financial assistance. Giving Kitchen also helps connect employees with a <a href=\"https:\/\/thegivingkitchen.org\/stability-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stability network<\/a>, which directs those in need of no-cost or low-cost services like legal aid, employment opportunities, housing and health care, including mental health support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter is of note, as major issues like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/data\/sites\/default\/files\/report_1959\/ShortReport-1959.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">substance use disorder<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/how-mental-health-checks-may-help-restaurant-workers-temper-destructive-stress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">depression and stress<\/a> highly impact those in the food service industry. \u201c[Food service workers] are so often asked to check their feelings at the door to provide a level of service and hospitality we\u2019ve come to expect,\u201d Hidinger-Kendrick explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can come at a huge cost, and while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/restaurant-workers-say-customers-and-tips-have-gotten-worse-2021-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mistreatment<\/a> and mental health ramifications of food service workers gained some new attention throughout the pandemic, Hidinger-Kendrick says that this is a problem \u201cthe industry has faced for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the efforts of Giving Kitchen, food service workers don\u2019t have to face their fears alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization has an open application process. Those in need visit Giving Kitchen\u2019s website, fill out a simple online form, and will be assigned to a case worker if they qualify. Hidinger-Kendrick says that their team of caseworkers (working in English, Spanish and Arabic) often help get those in need of urgent assistance help in as little as three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021, the organization provided aid to more than 2,700 individuals and their families, including $1.4 million in financial hardship assistance. Giving Kitchen helped connect thousands with further assistance through the stability network. Hidinger-Kendrick says the organization hopes to grow those numbers, as well as the areas they serve, in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><small><em>NPT is not affiliated with any of the organizations described herein, and the inclusion of any organization in this material should not be considered an endorsement by NPT of such organization, or its services or products.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><small><em>NPT does not provide legal or tax advice.
