The Full Plate

The women behind The Full Plate noticed large gaps in social services for hospitality workers and they decided to do something about it.

The Full Plate allows individuals to look through free resources and services designed for all hospitality workers.

The Full Plate believes by offering free access to mental health services, fitness & wellness, and legal resources, The Full Plate will foster a more positive workplace and improve lifestyle practices for hospitality workers.

The project:

We thank you for your most recent donation to our organization. With it, we have been able to provide grocery gift cards to hospitality workers. We are grateful for organizations like yours that continue to help us deliver these vital services. Approximately 85% of the 100 plus applicants were new, demonstrating to us that the need is greater than it has been before. In over 24 hours, we received more applicants than we ever have received for one intake form (175 applicants), and that number has since grown. It took us four days to send out one gift, the need was that great. As most restaurant workers are now temporarily unemployed or at reduced hours due to lockdowns, figuring out how they are going to pay their bills comes with additional stress and concern, we’ve been told some personal stories of choosing rent over food in order to get by for this month. With further funding we hope to open up our intake form again. Thank you for your consideration, The Full Plate Team
