#BenevolentSpiritsHOU
Asheville bars, restaurants, and coffee shops are coming together to help Houston residents in the ongoing aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas. Owners have pledged to donate proceeds from drink specials to three charities:
Harvey relief fund at The Greater Houston Community Foundation
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy
Houston Food Bank
Particpating venues (list will be updated):
- Ambrozia
- Blue Dream Curry
- Bone and Broth
- Buxton Hall
- The Cantina
- Carmel’s Kitchen & Bar
- Chai Pani
- The Chocolate Fetish
- Cúrate
- High Five Coffee
- Karen Donatelli Cafe and Bakery
- Nightbell
- Ole Shakey’s
- Posana
- Sovereign Remedies
- Sunny Point Café
- Vinnie’s
- Zambra
The Chocolate Fetish doesn’t sell drinks, so they’re donating proceeds from sales of their chocolate cowboy boots this week, as well as matching employee donations.
In addition to this program, Asheville restaurants are helping in other ways. Vinnie’s is donating 15% of proceeds from a select night. The Cantina owner Anthony Coggiola is heading to the Houston area to work with his past colleagues in Texas law enforcement to set up refuge for families of the responders.
Visit one of these participating venues, and raise a glass to help Houston and surrounding areas!
