HATTIE'S™ HELPING HANDS

Hattie's Restaurant is thrilled to announce its new philanthropic endeavor, "Hattie's™ Helping Hands".

It is our goal to connect people who care with causes that matter to the community.

It all started with founder, Hattie Grey and her unwavering commitment in helping her neighbors.

This charitable legacy continues today with owners and staff reaching out with food, time and energy in order to raise much needed dollars for Capital Region-based charities.


"Hattie's Helping Hands" breaks down into 4 categories:

1. Gift Certificate Donation Requests
These are limited for the year and are given out in $25 increments. Requests need to be filled out 8 weeks in advance. Your organization will be contacted promptly with a final decision.
Requirements - must be a registered 501(c) not-for-profit within the Capital Region.

2. Food Donation Requests
Requests need to be filled out 8 weeks in advance. Your organization will be contacted promptly with a final decision.
