Starting in 2011 with a simple idea of teaching the next generation of chefs how to cook, the Guy Fieri Foundation has expanded to programs that have supported first responders through disaster relief, celebrating our local heroes, saluting our military and veterans and improving Literacy in the community.
Our Programs
The Disaster Relief Trailer
The Disaster Relief Trailer has served over 120,000 meals in relief of such natural disasters as the Tubbs Fire (2017), the 2018 Camp Fire and Carr Fire, the 2019 Kincade Fire and the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex fires. In addition, we have catered appreciation events in support of various organizations like the California Highway Patrol, Sonoma County Sheriff and Santa Rosa Police Department.
Culinary Education
Culinary education and inspiration are at the very heart of the Foundation. From providing resources and scholarships to aspiring culinary workers to supporting entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry, the Guy Fieri Foundation is committed to the future of the culinary arts.
The Guy Fieri Foundation and Guy Fieri have committed grants and scholarships to organizations like the California Restaurant Foundation and the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation as well as grass roots, local organizations
Honoring Heroes Program
Honoring our Hero Veterans and First Responders for their dedication to duty and service to their communities by providing a day of recognition through food and words of appreciation
For our founder Guy Fieri and our Foundation, it’s about serving those that serve us!
Literacy Program
In an effort to recognize that literacy is a critical component for success, the Guy Fieri Foundation and the Susan and Lawrence Amaturo Giving Fund have united to promote literacy within our elementary schools in Sonoma County.
"Read On, Sonoma" encourages students to read more… because "readers become leaders!"
