Funeral
Support for a food service worker who has lost a member of their immediate family (parent, grandparent, sibling, grandchild or child) or for the family of a deceased food service worker.
Giving Kitchen understands that a food service worker in crisis needs assistance as quickly as possible. To speed up the application process, we’ve compiled a list of financial and crisis incident-related documentation to help you complete your application.
Our goal is to remove as many barriers as possible to receiving emergency assistance while maintaining the integrity of our program and protecting the mission of our organization.
Please do not start organizing your application information until after you ask for help.
Incident documentation:
Death certificate
Documentation verifying relationship to the deceased
Accident report, if applicable
Verification of funeral service (for example: funeral program)
Financial documentation:
Current pay stub
Lease agreement (if work missed)
Current utility bill(s): water, gas and electricity (if work missed); if utilities are bundled with lease agreement, please supply documentation
