The Rethink
Restaurant Network
We connect restaurants, community-based organizations, and food donors to deliver meals where they're needed most.
We are a chef-led nonprofit, partnering with restaurants, funding them to do what they do best – feed people, with love and dignity. Along the way, we’re helping small businesses thrive, creating jobs and activating local economies.
“Rethink Food is helping a lot of people. We almost closed our business during COVID, nobody helped us. We had to wait for a while to get support, to get some money from the government. But because of Rethink Food we were able to keep going, so we have to keep Rethink Food going. Give them the full support, because they not only support the restaurant, it all trickles down to the community. And then even in the future, if something happens again, we have a solution right away.”
— Pei Wei, Co-Owner of Zaab Zaab.
“Rethink Food is really at the forefront of responding to a real need for fresh, wonderful meals going into the hands of the families who need it the most. It was really great that they were willing to partner beside me, because really it takes a team to answer the question of what do we do about food insecurity, and I wouldn’t be able to do it alone so I’m thankful for Rethink Food and their partnership.”

Our work is making a profound impact:
With funding from Rethink Food, our restaurant partners have prepared over 30 million meals for local communities in need since 2017.
Eighty percent of partner restaurants are minority- or women-owned or led businesses.
