Chris Shepherd launched Southern Smoke in 2015 after learning his friend and former sommelier Antonio Gianola was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Recognizing a need, the Southern Smoke Foundation created an Emergency Relief Fund for people in the food and beverage industry in crisis. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the Southern Smoke Emergency Relief Fund has distributed $4,463,990 to 2,244 people nationwide. To date, Southern Smoke has distributed more than $6.1 million—both directly to people in need via the Emergency Relief Fund and to organizations that represent the needs of people in our industry. CRTRA Vice President Wendy Hull talks with Kathryn Lott, Executive Director for Southern Smoke, about their origin, the unique help they provide, and how companies can utilize and support this important foundation supporting our industry's employees.
