Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre have over 650 employees in Southern California that have been laid-off due to the COVID19 pandemic. While there are some good government assistance programs, many of our staff are still in real need of support for themselves and their families. 100% of this fund will purchase food and other life essentials and be directly distributed to our staff members. We will create free food boxes two days a week and provide nourishment to our staff from one central location. We will also be working with our food vendors to receive donated products and contributions. Our company's mission is "Love Is Served." We hope that you have felt the love in our food and service over the last 10 years, and will consider giving some love back to our people who need it the most right now.  

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity.
