Year in Review 2021 Guy Fieri Foundation
Happy New Year to everyone! 2021 had some great highlights with the Guy Fieri Foundation and we are excited to share our plans for 2022.
We served over 21,000 meals in 2021
We served meals to families affected by natural disasters, and went out to communities to bring the comfort of a home cooked meal to let them know we care about them during their time of need.
We provided meals to fire fighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, and emergency response personnel. We brought them comfort through food and let them know they are appreciated and we care.
Our Veterans, military, and their families are so important to the fabric of our country. We were able to honor them through food by bringing our mobile kitchen to Veterans homes and providing them meals of appreciation.
5,000 + VOLUNTEER HOURS
Volunteers are key to the success of executing any program and event. Our Volunteer group continues to grow every month.
We now have over 100 Volunteers on our team and growing! Without the help and support of volunteers, we would not be able to grow our programs.

Culinary Arts Programs Grants
We gave Grants to school programs to enhance and expand culinary arts programs for middle schools and high schools.
These grants are being used by the schools to purchase classroom supplies, equipment, farm to table garden neccessities, and leadership programs to encourage students to grow in the culinary and hospitality industry.
So many schools are underfunded and need support from donors and organziations that will allow the schools to even have these programs.
Scholarships
We gave out Scholarships to students pursuing careers in the culinary and hospitality industry.
Most students have a desire to continue their education in the culinary and hospitality industry, but during these times of economic insecurity, these scholarships can keep the students learning and in school and help them prepare for the future careers.
Our Partners
We could not do this without the support of Corporate sponsors, Partners, and Donors!
Thank you American Asphalt, Butterball Turkey, Camp Chef, Clover Sonoma, Delloakes Foundation, Frank & Marsh Ray, Freightliner, Igloo, Kings Hawaiian, Lawrence & Susan Amaturo, Myers Restaurant Supply, Ole Hickory Pits, Suburban Propane, Workday, and World Centric for your continued support for the past year and years to come!
2022 is going to be an exciting year
Our goal is to expand our programs to cities around the country through a creation of Ambassador programs that will support our culinary team and allow us to expand our support to communities around the country.
We plan on additional fundraising programs through events, sales of Guy Fieri Foundation merchandise, and other creative avenues to be able to raise funds to support our programs and Mission.
We are expanding our culinary arts programs to schools that are in need of a kickstart, and a hand up to continue to excite students about food, cooking, and education.
We are planning to start a Literacy program in enhacing schools and teaching the students the importance of reading at a young age.
All of our Programs are supported by every day people and companies through donations, volunteering your time, and donation of goods and services. To particpate in helping our Mission grow, please click here
