🍽️ Georgia QB Gunner Stockton Stuns Fans by Opening His Third “Stockton Soul Kitchen” — A No-Price Restaurant Serving Over 100,000 Meals, With a Mission That Could Change Everything
In a move that’s captured the hearts of fans far beyond football, Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton has surprised everyone by opening his third “Stockton Soul Kitchen” — a no-price restaurant where anyone can eat, whether they can afford it or not.
Located in Athens, the newest Soul Kitchen has already served more than 100,000 meals, continuing a mission Stockton began quietly two years ago. But the most shocking part isn’t just the scale of his generosity — it’s the philosophy behind it.
“This isn’t charity,” Stockton said at the opening. “It’s community. Everyone deserves dignity — and a hot meal.”
Each Stockton Soul Kitchen operates without prices on the menu. Guests pay what they can — or volunteer for an hour in exchange for their meal. The restaurants partner with local farms and student volunteers from the University of Georgia to keep food fresh and costs low.
What started as a small idea during the COVID years has become a movement that’s challenging traditional charity models and shining a spotlight on hunger issues across the South.
As one Athens resident put it, “He’s feeding people — but he’s also giving hope.”
With the Bulldogs star quarterback behind it, the project is gaining national attention. And now, many are asking the same question:
Could Gunner Stockton’s simple idea become the next big play in America’s fight against hunger?
