Our Plate-It-Forward Story
A couple years ago, B’s Sizzling Kitchen experienced three break-ins.
On the third time, something unexpected happened.
Nothing was taken except food — pulled straight from our walk-in freezer.
That moment changed us.
It hurt. It felt violating. But it also revealed something deeper: someone was hungry enough to risk everything.
Instead of responding with anger, we chose reflection.
We asked ourselves:
What if we could create a way for no one to ever feel that desperate again?
And from that question, Plate It Forward was born.
Not from loss.
But from compassion.
How Plate-It-Forward Works
1
Guests can purchase a meal ticket during dine-in, takeout, or online checkout.
2
The ticket is added to our Community Meals Board.
3
Anyone in need can quietly redeem a meal.
No questions asked.
No Forms. No explanations. No judgement.
Just Food and Dignity.
Because Of You...
A parent brought dinner home without worry.
A student didn't skip
a meal.
A neighbor felt seen,
not judged.
Compassion Lives Here.
Why It Matters...
Hunger isn’t always visible.
It can look like a working parent between paychecks.
A student choosing between tuition and groceries.
A family navigating unexpected hardship.
Plate It Forward ensures that when someone walks through our doors in need, they are met
with warmth—not questions.
