Feed The People:
Steve’s Hot Dogs Community Giveback

In 2020 as we battled COVID together, the world changed, and so did our role in it. Suddenly, Steve's Hot Dogs wasn't just a place for a killer Chicago Dog; it became a lifeline for the community. We saw our neighbors, our friends, struggling. Jobs lost, families facing impossible choices. Dinner shouldn't be one of them.

That's when #FeedThePeople was born. It started with a simple question from a generous customer: "If I buy a Family Pack, can you give it to someone who needs it?" The answer was a resounding YES. And the community's response? Overwhelming.

Since then, thanks to customers like YOU, we've connected hundreds of meals with those who need them most.

Customer donations allow us to give. When we have donations, we are able to say YES to our community partners when they ask us to donate.

Since 2020, we have donated 7,754 meals* to:

  • Local heroes at Waymaker's Chapel, St. Patrick Center, Boys & Girls Club, The Salvation Army of St. Louis, Healing Action, and more.

  • Kids missing out on school lunches.

  • Frontline workers at SLU Hospital, Barnes, Mercy, Children's, and other healthcare heroes.

  • Truck drivers keeping our country moving during the toughest times.

  • Families facing job loss, illness, and instability.

But the story doesn't end here. The need is still real, and we need your help to keep the grills hot and the meals coming. Join us in fueling our community, one delicious hot dog at a time. Donate today and be a part of the #FeedThePeople movement!

“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.”
