Serving Support: Jen Hidinger-Kendrick & The Story of Giving Kitchen

Today on Jeff & Jamie Feed, we’re joined by Jen Hidinger-Kendrick from Giving Kitchen, a nonprofit that helps food service workers in crisis. We talk about what makes restaurant and hospitality work so different from other industries—and why these individuals benefit so much from Giving Kitchen’s support.Jen also shares the inspiring origin story of the organization, which began with an Atlanta restaurant later named Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurant about eight years ago. It’s a powerful look at how one community’s compassion grew into a nationwide effort to care for those who serve us every day.If you’ve ever worked in hospitality, love the restaurant world, or just want to hear an inspiring story about turning tragedy into positive change, this episode is for you.
