About Elio's Kitchen
Our Story
As we all know, the world came to a stop in 2020 when COVID-19 emerged. This hit home for us when our own grandfather (Elio) fell ill. Through our pain, tears, and hope, we tried our best to make sure he would get through it, but sadly his battle came to a tragic end. Even before his passing our family had begun to thank our frontline heroes by delivering them food. After we lost our grandfather, our family decided to continue in his memory. Every year for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and in periods of community stress, we would like to honor our grandfather’s memory and thank our frontline heroes by sending hot meals for those who cannot be with their families. During these holidays, we have made it our mission to celebrate with them.
We have expanded our program’s outreach to our community. We will be working with social workers and various hospitals to identify the families of critically-ill children in need to whom we may provide financial assistance.
We hope you will support our cause, and help us continue to keep our frontline workers in our hearts and help us reach our goal with our new program to reach those in need of assistance.
Sincerely, Autumn, Kiran, & Nicolas Evensky (Elio’s Grandchildren)
