The LEE Initiative is an acronym for Let’s Empower Employment. When we see a need for more diversity, equity, sustainability and compassion in the restaurant industry, we find innovative and impactful solutions. We create programs that make a real difference in the lives of the next generation of restaurant industry professionals. We help our community and inspire others to get involved.
For a fourth year, we've teamed up with Kraft Heinz and Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice to give out grants to food business owners across the country. It's more important than ever to support those who are preserving and sharing Black culinary traditions nationwide, and we're grateful for the opportunity to continue this work.
