Giving · Published monthly

Here's the receipt.

Ten percent of every Chef Lesly order funds meals through the Tarrant Area Food Bank. At TAFB, $1 = 5 meals. We'd rather not ask you to take that on faith — so every donation gets posted on this page with the month, the date it was paid, the amount, and the receipt itself.

Chef Lesly funds the meals. TAFB feeds Fort Worth. This page is just where we show our work.

How giving works

Four steps, no mystery.

The donation isn't a campaign or a seasonal promotion. It's part of the price of lunch, every single order.

  1. You order lunch

    Ten percent of the order is set aside for the food bank. It's built into our pricing — no checkbox, no upsell, no round-up-at-checkout. Ordering lunch is the whole ask.

  2. The month closes

    Every qualifying order from that month gets totaled. A $250 office lunch — our minimum, reachable with any mix — contributes $25, which funds 125 meals.

  3. Chef Lesly pays TAFB

    One donation covering the month, paid directly to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. Not pledged, not earmarked, not held. Paid.

  4. The receipt goes up here

    Date paid, amount, recipient, and the receipt document — added to the ledger below as soon as the food bank sends it over.

The ledger

Every donation, newest first.

Meal counts use the food bank's published conversion of $1 = 5 meals, rounded down to whole meals.

This page is updated monthly, as receipts come in. Donations are paid after the month closes, and each entry goes up once the Tarrant Area Food Bank sends the receipt — usually within the first week or two of the following month. If a month is showing here without its receipt attached yet, that's why, and it will be filled in. Questions about any line on this page: [email protected].
