BUSINESSES ON THE LINE
Every day we work to grow our organization and develop actionable ideas for the future.
On The Line addresses frontline need, food insecurity, and economic distress in our community. Today, we’re working with World Central Kitchen, Rivertowns Chamber of Commerce, and engaged, socially responsible corporate partners like Tito’s Vodka. We’ve organized to become a 501(c)(3) so that we may work locally to engage independent restaurants on initiatives that will reimagine the industry — enabling these small businesses to be an anchor for their employees and their local community.
OUR MISSION
Empowering independent restaurants to sustain the environment, the economy, and their communities.
We’re committed to supporting restaurants financially and getting food to our neighbors in need. Find out more about how we’re doing it.
WHAT WE NEED TODAY
Fundraising
Humanitarian meals
Community donors are helping children who depend on school meals for nutrition, seniors, families, immunocompromised, out-of-work, homeless, and independent restaurants in your community.
Sponsors & sharing
Our team of volunteers help us locate corporate sponsorships, influential endorsements, media promotion, and spur our community to give us critically important social sharing.
Restaurant partners
Through fundraising we source food and process meals in restaurant kitchens using their staff, providing contactless delivery of the meals to hard-hit Westchester County.
World Central Kitchen Partnership
Expanded distribution network
Expanded food donor outreach
Hundreds of jobs saved
Your Donations Support
Meals
Meals for at-risk neighbors
helping hungry children who rely on school meal programs, seniors, quarantined families, out of work hourly workers, immigrants, and isolated homeless communities.
Wages
Even a fraction of lost wages are a lifeline
for struggling kitchen staff. You can get help to those that need it most right now: out of work hourly workers who themselves have no access to meals for themselves or their families.
Labor Hours
Idle restaurants are the most effective partners
to support food insecure neighbors, including hundreds of thousands of service industry staff who find themselves suddenly unemployed with little to no government assistance.
Supplies & Food
We need help shouldering basic costs
such as paper goods, safe-seal containers, and food.

Sharing is the same as donating. Let your family and friends know this is a mission you care about. If 200 people donate just $25 per week, we will be able to fulfill our mission to provide meals AND protect restaurants in your community from closing forever.

They are in a state of shock and panic and they are desperate. We had grown men crying. Families with disabled children. They don’t have a safety net. We are literally trying to hold society together.
