$40 for 40 for Hunger Relief

To support Gift for Life’s “Come Together” efforts to raise funds in support of World Central Kitchen and crisis-related hunger relief, organizers are encouraging $40 donations at the event and through Gift + Stationery Week Aug. 9-11. Help them reach the goal of $4,000 by donating here to Gift for Life in support of World Central Kitchen in honor of Gift + Stationery 40 Under 40 Award winners.

All “Come Together” fundraising will be directed to World Central Kitchen’s (WCK) #ChefsForUkraine program which has served more than 27 million meals across eight countries since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, 2022.
