Working Together
World Central Kitchen
Vitamix is proud to support the non-profit organization, World Central Kitchen, with a donation of $50,000. Dedicated to supporting local restaurants and feeding those in need, WCK's #ChefsForAmerica initiative is providing fresh meals daily in cities across the country. WCK is also now activating restaurants to help meet this demand by providing jobs for their staff and meals for those in need. #ChefsForAmerica is making a key connection between people who need meals and restaurant workers and drivers who need to earn a living.
No Kid Hungry
Vitamix® is also proud to support No Kid Hungry with a donation of $10,000. Since launching in 2010, No Kid Hungry has worked with communities across the country, improving and expanding existing programs to ensure all kids have daily access to healthy meals.
Making an Impact
Support takes many forms. While some of your favorite restaurants may not be seating guests right now, many are still open for business. Here are some ways you can show your support:
- buy gift cards for use at a later date
- order food for curbside pick-up
- order carry-out
- have food delivered to your door.
To find restaurants near you that are still operational, check out Dining at a Distance in the US, or their partner We Are Still Open, supporting the hospitality industry in Europe.
