GIVING BACK

 

Texas Hospitality Collective: Central Texas Flood Relief

In the face of devastation, hundreds of volunteers, chefs, and hospitality pros came together to deliver over 11,000 meals to families impacted by the Kerr County floods that hit on July 4th, 2025. Thanks to your quick action and generous hearts, we were able to mobilize a team of over 30 chefs and hospitality partners and register more than 900 volunteers from across the state—within hours of the call for help. The first hot meals went out just 12 hours after the floods hit. Since then, your support has helped bring nourishment, dignity, and care to communities in need. 

To continue to support the hardest-hit communities, donations may be made to the Kerrville Flood Relief fund, here. 

Thank you again to every chef, volunteer, brand, and donor who stepped up. You reminded us what community looks like.

 

The impact of COVID-19 in 2020 has been felt across the globe, and our friends in the service industry were hit hard. We wanted to help out where we could, and put together a raffle to raise funds for the  Southern Smoke Foundation. We were overwhelmed by the support of our friends who wanted to donate items to the raffle. We raised $41,460 for Southern Smoke, and that money was put directly into the hands of folks in the service industry who need help the most.

 

We have a huge heart for our community and give back at a local level with a focus on education, tourism, arts and culture.
