Ruth’s Chris Support of the Giving Kitchen in Atlanta
The Giving Kitchen provides emergency assistance grants for Atlanta area restaurant workers facing an unanticipated crisis. Employees at Atlanta area Ruth’s Chris restaurants have the ability to donate to the Giving Kitchen directly from their paycheck to support area restaurant workers. Since making this option available, employees have donated nearly $25,000 with each dollar matched by their restaurant. By the end of 2017, we would anticipate that the Atlanta Ruth’s Chris family would have donated more than $50,000 to the Giving Kitchen through our employee donation and employer match program.
During a month long fundraising campaign promoted by Atlanta magazine, Atlanta-area Ruth’s Chris locations issued a challenge grant to the community and we matched the first $25,000 raised as part of the Give Atlanta Challenge!
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.
