This Thanksgiving, We’re Thankful for You: A Tribute to the Service Industry
As Thanksgiving approaches, we at Service! want to share our appreciation for the incredible people who make this holiday so memorable: you, the servers, cooks, bartenders, and all service industry workers. You bring so much more than food and drinks to our tables—you bring warmth, connection, and care, especially during the busy holiday season. This Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express just how much you mean to us.
Thank You for Making the Season Bright
For those in the service industry, the holidays are among the busiest times of the year. We know that while others celebrate, you’re often working long shifts, managing countless customer requests, and bringing the best of yourselves to every table. Your kindness and resilience make each holiday gathering brighter. It’s not just about what you do—it’s about the spirit you bring to each interaction, even during the longest days and late nights. For that, we’re incredibly grateful.
What Service! Is Doing to Support You
At Service!, we’re here to support you beyond the holiday rush. We know the demands of the season can be intense, and our mission is to lighten that load by providing resources and support year-round. Through grants, wellness resources, and career development opportunities, we aim to make your work a little easier and empower you to thrive in an industry that can often feel demanding and underappreciated.
We’re committed to creating a better workplace for everyone in the service industry—whether it’s through financial aid, mentorship, or wellness programs. Our goal is to stand by you, giving you the tools and support you need to keep doing what you love, with a little less stress.
Small Ways We Can All Show Our Thanks
This Thanksgiving, we’re encouraging everyone to think about ways to show appreciation to the service industry professionals who make holiday moments possible. Here are a few simple gestures that go a long way:
Dine Locally: Choosing local, independent restaurants helps support those who work hard to bring these special meals to life in our communities.
Tip Generously: A little extra can make a big difference, especially during the busy holiday season when every shift is packed.
Say “Thank You”: Taking a moment to acknowledge a job well done can make someone’s day and reminds workers that their efforts are seen and valued.
Support Service!: If you’d like to make an impact, consider donating. Together, we can help strengthen the community that supports us all.
From Our Service! Family to Yours
This Thanksgiving, we hope you know how appreciated you are—not just for what you do, but for the kindness, patience, and resilience you bring to every shift. You are the true spirit of hospitality, and it’s an honor to support and uplift you through the work we do at Service! From everyone at Service!, thank you for your dedication. Here’s to a holiday season filled with as much warmth and joy as you bring to others each day.
