Just as frontline healthcare workers appear to turn a corner during this harrowing time,
our country is facing an urgent community hunger crisis, astronomical in scale.
We are raising an additional $1.5M to serve as many meals to food insecure populations as we can during this time.

Rallying around our neighbors in need
Off Their Plate provides an economic lifeline to COVID-impacted restaurants and feeds communities in crisis.
Lend A Hand
In these times of crisis, we are providing economic relief to COVID-impacted restaurant employees and feeding families and individuals facing hunger.
We can do more than stay home. Our work is powered by a coalition of socially-minded restaurant owners, hospital leaders, community organizers, passionate private citizens, and generous donors. If you would like to join our effort or contribute in a creative way, please email hello@offtheirplate.org.
Our mission is simple
Pledge Dollars
Off Their Plate is fully powered by volunteers, so 100% of dollars raised are directed to local communities.
Revive Restaurants
We direct funds to partner restaurants so they may continue to employ their staff and equip them to meet COVID-informed food prep protocols.
Prepare Meals
Restaurants cook up delicious, nutritious meals for communities experiencing hunger.
Provide Relief
>50% of meal cost committed specifically to economic relief for local restaurant shift workers.
Deliver Meals
OTP works directly with hospitals and community centers to schedule deliveries, adhering to strict sanitation and distancing guidelines.
Feed Communities
Your dollars feed healthcare staff and provide a lifeline to food insecure families during this crisis.
our Impact
Your donations directly support restaurant workers, healthcare workers, and communities experiencing hunger in Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. 100% of donations go directly to our local restaurant partners, and every $100 donated provides 10 meals to healthcare workers or people experiencing hunger and restores 3 shift hours to the local economy.
