Community Giving at Eataly

Our Community Giving Program, led by our stores to support local initiatives, reflects our longstanding belief that good food has the power to create positive change — for people, the planet, and our communities. As a global ambassador for Italian food excellence, we recognize the importance of a healthy food system and the individuals and groups that power it. Therefore, we purposefully support initiatives that nourish communities, celebrate culture, and protect the ecosystems that sustain us.

We focus where we can make the greatest impact: from advancing youth food education and addressing food insecurity through thoughtful food recovery, to investing in sustainable agriculture projects and supporting the next generation of hospitality professionals. We also champion the preservation and evolution of Italian heritage, honoring the artisans, traditions, and innovations that define it.

If your initiative aligns with these values, we welcome your request and look forward to learning more. Please select the local store that applies to your organization or cause, and one of our team members will be in touch if we are able to support. Please note that due to the volume of requests, we are not able to respond to or support each one. For more information, please see our eligibility criteria below.
