Who is restorative partners?

Restorative Partners is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that serves San Luis Obispo County. Our mission is to transform lives impacted by crime through healing services and relationships. We do so through facilitating programs in our local jail and juvenile hall, through our 5 sober living homes, and through other community programs and services. 

​

The goal of all of our work is to reduce violence and lower recidivism by providing wrap around services from incarceration through reincorporation into our community. Our restorative justice approach focuses on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit, incorporating trauma-informed care, addressing responsibility and accountability, and offering accompaniment through reentry mentorship.

for restaurants

The 2021 SLO Grilled Cheese Festival's focus is giving back to local food establishments in SLO County. 

​

Restorative Partners will invite our supporters and the greater SLO County community to try out each participating restaurant's version of a grilled cheese. Participating individuals will be encouraged to promote the event and restaurants on social media as well as complete a Yelp review for each restaurant. 

​

We ask minimal of your establishment and will provide the following:

• Marketing materials, including flyers, event maps, table tents, order inserts, and digital promotional items

• Incentives for individuals to try as many restaurants as possible

• Promotion of your restaurant through the event landing page, social media platforms, newsletters, mailings, and more

​

Your establishment will not be asked to donate to Restorative Partners or to request donations from your supporters. Restorative Partners' fundraising efforts are in conjunction with this event but not attached to restaurant participation. 

If your restaurant is interested in participating, provide the information below and we will be in touch with more information and a Participation Form:
