Giving Tuesday Partnership · Tuesday, December 1

Eat, Drink & Give Back

On Giving Tuesday, Elm City Social, Olives and Oil, and Mama Luke’s are partnering with Kesem at Yale to support kids in our region who are affected by a parent’s cancer. Just come hungry, or pick up a gift card. We’ll handle the giving.

Two Ways to Give

Everything you spend with us on December 1st helps Kesem at Yale.

Dine With Us

We’ll donate 10% of our sales (before tax and tip) at all three restaurants on December 1st, whether you dine in or order takeout directly from us.

Not included: catering orders, pre-booked parties and events, and orders placed through third-party apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and ezCater.

Bring friends, bring family, bring the whole office. Every check helps.

Give the Gift of a Great Meal

For every $100 in gift cards purchased on December 1st, we’ll donate $25 to Kesem at Yale.

Plus, you still get our holiday bonus: a $25 bonus card for you with every $100 in gift cards you buy.

Order online, or stop into any of our restaurants to buy gift cards in person. Our gift cards are good at all three restaurants, so they make a great holiday gift.

Please note: only physical gift cards purchased on Tuesday, December 1 count toward the donation, whether you buy them in person or order online. E-gift cards are not included.

About Kesem at Yale

More than 5 million children in the U.S. have been affected by a parent’s cancer, and many face anxiety, grief, and isolation. Kesem gives these kids, ages 6 to 18, the chance to just be kids: a completely free, week-long overnight summer camp, surrounded by peers who understand and mentors who care.

Kesem at Yale is run by Yale student volunteers who spend the year fundraising and planning. Last summer, the chapter hosted two free week-long camp sessions for more than 150 children from across the Northeast, with the help of more than 60 student volunteers.

150+ kids served by Kesem at Yale last summer
90,000+ children supported by Kesem nationwide
116 college chapters across the country
99% of families recommend Camp Kesem

Giving Tuesday is Tuesday, December 1, 2026. The 10% donation is based on sales before tax and tip at Elm City Social, Olives and Oil, and Mama Luke’s on that day, for dine-in orders and orders placed directly with the restaurants. Catering orders, pre-booked parties and events, and third-party delivery and catering orders (such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and ezCater) are not included, and gift card purchases count toward the gift card donation rather than the 10% donation. The gift card donation is $25 for every full $100 in physical gift cards purchased on December 1, 2026 (Eastern Time), in our restaurants or at forkhospitality.com. E-gift cards are not included. For example, a $150 purchase earns a $25 donation and a $200 purchase earns a $50 donation. The $25 bonus card is a promotional card, not a gift card, and is valid through March 31, 2027. Donations are made by Fork Hospitality to Kesem at Yale. Guest purchases are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.
