Give the Gift of a Holiday Meal

The holidays are a time for warmth and gathering, but for many in the food and beverage industry, they mean long hours and hard work. Groceries with Gratitude is here to support the families of food and beverage service workers facing financial hardship during the holiday season.

Your donation helps provide holiday meals for those who work so hard to make our celebrations special. This initiative is proudly powered by our Title Sponsor, Sysco, along with our Presenting Sponsors Proximo Spirits, Precept Wine & Spirits, Rodney Strong Vineyards, IMI Agency, and Black Angus Steakhouse.
