King of Flavortown Guy Fieri knows better than anyone how important restaurant staffers are to an amazing dining experience.

And now, more than ever, they need our help, which is why the 52-year-old has quickly arranged for funds to be provided to out-of-work restaurant staffers during this time of need!

While speaking with TMZ, the *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives* host revealed he had no problem reaching out to some major corporations involved in hospitality and food services for donations!

Guy explained that when the pandemic hit, he began thinking about his "brothers and sisters in the restaurant business."

In partnership with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, Guy has launched the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund.

He explained that he sent personal video invitations to all heavy hitter brand CEOs (Coke, Pepsi, UberEats, etc.) and asked for donations.

In less than two months, Guy has helped raise over $20 million for out-of-work restaurant staffers!
