Year in Review 2022 Guy Fieri Foundation
Happy New Year to everyone! 2022 was an incredible year for the Guy Fieri Foundation and we are excited to share our plans for 2023.
We served over 14,000 meals in 2022
Our Honoring Heroes Program took us around the country allowing us to feed our Veterans, First Responders and their families from New Jersey to Las Vegas to California.
We were able to honor them through food by bringing our mobile kitchen to Veterans homes, Policae Stations, VFW Posts and providing them meals of appreciation.
We also supported like minded community foundations to help feed thousand of underserved community members during the holdiays by partnering with the Slavation Army, Redwood Gospel Mission, and local first responder departments.
12,000 + 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 150 Volunteers on our team and are continuing to expand! 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.
So many schools are underfunded and need support from donors and organziations that will allow the schools to even have these programs.
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.
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.
Fundraising Event
Created in association with The Guy Fieri Foundation and The Tug McGraw Foundation, our event raised awareness and support for our nation’s veterans, first responders, and healthcare providers.
GRAMMY award-winning singer and actor Tim McGraw performed while our Founder, Guy Fieri, curated a culinary experience for all the guest that was held October 21 & 22, 2022 in the Napa Valley.
Thank you to Our Partners
We could not do this without the support of Corporate sponsors, Partners, and Donors and Volunteers!
2023 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.
Support the thousands of First Responders dedicated to disaster relief by expanding the Mobile Kitchen Trailer Program, including a coffee trailer to support our programs and Mission.
We plan on additional fundraising programs through events, sales of Guy Fieri Foundation merchandise, and other creative avenues to be able to raise funds
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.
Expand our Literacy program in enhacing schools and teaching the students the importance of reading at a young age.
