Rachael Ray Won't Rest Until Everyone—and Their Pets—Is Fed

Some people are just called to a life of service, and Rachael Ray gratefully counts herself among them. When the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation, she didn't have to think twice. She built charity into her business from the very beginning so that her brand would financially support the care and feeding of the people who need it most—as well as the animals who are keeping so many of us from capsizing right now. Food & Wine Senior Editor Kat Kinsman spoke with Ray about how her non-profit The Yum-o! Organization combined efforts with The Rachael Ray Foundation for a collective $4 million dollar donation for COVID-19 relief efforts, why politicians should take their turn working in restaurants, and how people can look for joy in these uncertain times.
