This Christmas, we are offering a "Pay What You Can Afford" Christmas meal. The last few years have been hard on so many. This is a small way to give back and make sure everyone has access to a delicious holiday meal. It can be uncomfortable to ask for a discount or something for free. We promise this is not some ego driven, performative, virtue signaling stunt. We mean it. Please ask for what you need - there is no shame and no judgement. Our good friend (and inspiration for this project) Chef John Stockman of Minneapolis Black Market said, "I consider it a privilege to be able to use my limited talents to help my fellow humans". If you are in a good financial place, consider supporting with a couple of extra dollars to go towards feeding someone who isn't as lucky. The more we can share our resources and talents to help take care of each other, the stronger the entire community will be.

Christmas meals serve 1 and are ready to heat, and include:

• Herb Roasted Turkey, Ham, or Vegetarian Option

• Caramelized Onion, Bacon, & Leek Mashed Potatoes OR Buttermilk Mashed Potato

• Macaroni & Cheese OR Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

• Cabernet Cranberry Sauce

• Dessert

The suggested donation price is $25 (+ $10 for delivery). Whether it is $0 or $1000 - please enter that information under the "Pay What You Can Afford" option below. There will also be an option to "Pay it Forward" and purchase the meal for someone else. Meals will be available for pickup and delivery in Chicagoland on 12/23 or 12/24.
