ABOUT:

Food For Behind the Lines (FFBTL) will focus on the urgent need to provide food to our unemployed local CT restaurant workers struggling to feed themselves and their families.

Many of these staffers are ineligible for benefits (like food stamps, unemployment, stimulus checks, etc) and may also face long term unemployment in the changing landscape.  The restaurant industry faces many challenges in the future: restaurants unable to re-open at all, re-opening at greatly reduced capacity resulting in fewer staff positions and the slow return of customers to dine-in facilities. 

Food For Behind The Lines works with local chefs to identify those in need and then supports these workers through local, targeted food drives distributing boxes of donated and purchased foods for their families. In addition, these chefs help purchase food from their distributors at reduced rates and help secure food donations. 

100% of donations for Food For Behind The Lines will go toward the purchase of boxed pantry goods. 

We raise money via GoFundMe:

And now we raise money via a wonderful e-cookbook published by CTBites (the leading food blog in CT) that features 100 recipes from CT chefs
