Reflecting on Team Hidi 2023

Reflecting on your impact

This year's Team Hidi was truly a night to remember! We ate great food and danced the night away — but the most important thing we did was raise critical funds for food service workers in crisis!

Let's reflect on the party of the year:

• 1,235 guests in attendance

• 169 volunteers working hard

• 93 food and beverage stations serving over 30,000 bites, 6,850 cocktails, and 3,200 beers

• $805,404.20 raised for food service workers in crisis!

Team Hidi began as the fight for one life and is now a support system for thousands more. Wherever Giving Kitchen grows and goes, we're all still on Team Hidi.

"Reflections light the path for what we are doing now and all that we can do together in the future." — Jen Hidinger-Kendrick, Co-Founder & Senior Director of Community Engagement

Because of your support at events like Team Hidi, Giving Kitchen has helped over 12,154 food service workers and awarded over $8.2 million in financial assistance to help keep the lights on, the water running, and a roof overhead for food service workers in crisis.

We're so grateful to have you as part of our community; each of you makes this event truly special.

With your help and generosity, we raised over $800,000 at Team Hidi for food service workers in crisis.

You can make a donation today to continue our work and make a lasting impact on the food service community! Thank you for being on Team Hidi!
