Founded in 2015 by James Beard Award-winning Chef Chris Shepherd, Southern Smoke Foundation supports food and beverage workers in crisis nationwide through emergency relief funding and access to mental health services. Since inception, SSF has distributed over $10.5 million to F+B workers in crisis nationwide. As Chris Shepherd says, Southern Smoke Foundation was created to “take care of our own.” To donate or to apply, visit southernsmoke.org.
