Katie Button Restaurants has activated Benevolent Spirits, their independent restaurant community action effort, to support World Central Kitchen. World Central Kitchen is quickly organizing and establishing teams in and around Ukraine to feed the hungry.
“Sharing a plate of food can bring dignity and humanity in the darkest moments.”
The donation program at participating restaurants, bars, breweries, and coffee shops in Asheville will run next week, March 9-15.
Below is the ask. To participate, please do the following, now:
- Sign Benevolent Spirit’s Google Form by March 7.
- Choose a cocktail or beverage of which all proceeds (profits after costs covered) will be donated directly to World Central Kitchen.
- KBR will be creating posters to communicate the program to your guests, along with donation envelopes for tables, urging guests to leave additional funds. They will coordinate a pick-up time for table envelopes and posters later for participanting restaurants, and can likely drop off if needed. Checks left in envelopes should be mailed directly to WCK, and cash should be tallied and included in the donation with the proceeds from the drink selected.
- At the end of the program, restaurants will total the proceeds and make a donation through a link that we’ll send out.
Thank you for your care and your attention. If you do have questions about the program, please reach out to Mary Byers at KBR: mbyers@kbr.email
