Ruth’s Chris Support of the Giving Kitchen in Atlanta

At Ruth’s Chris Steak House, our commitment to hospitality extends beyond our restaurants to the people who make this unique industry so special. We are honored to support Giving Kitchen’s mission to provide emergency assistance to foodservice workers facing unexpected crises in all 50 states. Since Giving Kitchen’s inception, we have proudly contributed nearly $500,000 to this vital work.

This mission is especially meaningful to us because members of our own team have received Giving Kitchen grants during times of need. We’ve seen firsthand the difference this support can make and are proud to help ensure those who serve others always have somewhere to turn.

Our Donation Match Program

In order to maximize the budgeted dollars we donate to non-profit organizations, we utilize a matching donation program. Our matching donation program can increase the dollars raised for your charitable organization. Ruth’s Chris will match gift card purchase for non-profit charitable 501-C organizations up to $250.00 in any location directly served by our franchise restaurants in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
