A Season of the Unexpected . . .

In the restaurant world, life can change in an instant — a fall in the kitchen, a fire that closes the doors, a diagnosis that means someone suddenly can’t work. When the paycheck stops but the bills don’t, APRON is there to help restaurant workers recover, rebuild, and return to the community they support every day.

Below is a video of an actual letter we received.

Further down the page, we’re sharing recipes from local chefs as a heartfelt thank-you
for helping support the hands that feed us.


Consider these recipes like dessert – a sweet thanks in advance for your holiday donations this year.

Many thanks to our chef and bartender friends for sharing these recipes with us.
