MCK Restaurant & Bar has quickly become one of the most frequented spots in Atlanta, blending great food, a vibrant atmosphere, and a sense of community that draws in locals and visitors alike. Known as a place where “everybody knows your name,” MCK’s warm and welcoming environment is now extending beyond its walls to support those in need through the MCK Cares various initiatives.

Established by Mitch, Chuk, and Khareem, the dynamic trio behind MCK Restaurant & Bar, MCK Cares was born out of their passion for serving the community—both as restaurateurs and as advocates for positive change.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to be a beacon of light in our community, guiding the way towards positive transformation. We are committed to addressing critical social issues, empowering individuals, and fostering a culture of compassion. Through our actions and initiatives, we strive to illuminate the path to a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

We envision a community where the light of compassion and purpose shines brightly, where homelessness is alleviated, and where every individual is empowered to create a positive impact.

We aspire to be the driving force behind a more compassionate and connected world, where MCK Cares serves as a model of social responsibility and a catalyst for lasting change.

Guided by the belief that strong communities are built through compassion, connection, and collective action, we develop programs and partnerships that educate, empower, and provide tangible resources to those in need.

From awareness campaigns and scholarships to high-impact events and collaborations with leading organizations, MCK Cares is committed to fostering wellness, resilience, and lasting change. Together, we are building a legacy of care that uplifts individuals and transforms communities.

Together, this represents a total of $75,000 in impact dedicated to advancing mental health support in our communities —an impact made possible through the platform and community convened by MCK Cares.

At MCK Cares, we are not just hosting events—we are convening people, partners, and resources to drive meaningful and lasting impact.

Thank you to every sponsor, partner, donor, and guest who made this possible. This is your impact.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our Host Committee, whose leadership, networks, and commitment helped bring this vision to life.

We also take a moment to honor Mickey Lee, who celebrated this milestone with us just weeks before her passing. Her presence, spirit, and support are forever a part of this impact—and her legacy will continue to live on through the lives we touch.

What began as a vision to bring people together has grown into something much greater—a platform for impact, partnership, and progress.

And this is just the beginning.
