Feed The People
On April 8, 2020, we rolled out our #FeedThePeople program. In the early days of the COVID-19 crisis, we saw many people in our neighborhood losing their jobs and struggling to feed their families. Suddenly, our fun family restaurant became a critical community spot, where families could pick up dinner without going far from home.
A few generous customers reached out and asked if they purchased one of our Family Pack meals, if we would donate them to anyone in need. As soon as put out the call, the extent of the need in the community became apparent, and so did the generosity of the community at large.
Since we launched the #FeedThePeople program, we connected hundreds of people in our community with customer-donated meals to:
The Salvation Army of St. Louis
School children going without school lunches
First responders at SLU Hospital, Barnes, Mercy, Children’s and more.
Truck drivers who were struggling to get food on the road during the quarantine
Individuals & families struggling with job loss, illness, and domestic instability
“Last spring, my family was in major transition due to COVID. We’d lost our jobs and I was dealing with cancer. I reached out to Steve’s when they offered up free meals. It was hard to swallow my pride, but it was absolutely necessary. They said yes with no questions asked. We picked up a family pack and our family ate for two days. A heartfelt homecooked meal meant so much in that moment.”
