Local Restaurants Teaming Up for Haiti Relief Aid

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Jan 15, 2010 9:40PM

The relief effort in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is only getting started and the reports coming out of that country are harrowing. Locally, restaurants are responding admirably to the call for help. From January 18-24, guests at the restaurants listed after the jump will have the opportunity to add an extra dollar to their checks. The total collected amount will then be donated to Heartland Alliance (now would be as good a time as any to ask you to re-read Megan's interview with Heartland Alliance's "refugee nutritionist" Sarah Eichberger, as it's particularly newsworthy in the wake of what's happened).

At DMK Burger Bar, buy an $8 burger between January 19 and 24 and 25 percent of the price will be forwarded immediately to the American Red Cross Haitian Relief Fund or Share Our Strength. DMK Burger Bar will also have a Haitian Relief Fund donation raffle for $20 per ticket; the winner will receive a month of free burgers. The raffle drawing will take place on Saturday night, January 30th at 12:00 midnight.

Bleeding Heart Bakery is is selling a special $3 banana cupcake with pineapple jam and coconut frosting today through Sunday. All sales will be donated to the American Red Cross.
