A couple of weeks ago, we gave you three reasons to patronize a trio of local restaurants that are making your night out on the town go to a good cause, (a growing trend we’ve been noticing, for sure). And now, as many St. Louisans clean up after the devastation from the tornadoes that swept across the city last week, another area business is giving you a chance to dine out and give back.
Enjoyalocal.com has teamed up with area Ferguson restaurants to donate a portion of one night’s proceeds to tornado recovery and repair efforts in Ferguson. What’s that mean for you? It means if you dine at so-called “Dine Ferg” restaurants including Ferguson Brewing Co., Marley’s Bar & Grill, Cork Wine Bar, Corner Coffee House and Vincenzo’s on Friday, May 6, 20 percent of your bill will go to the relief efforts. Additional donations will be gladly accepted, of course, and the restaurants will also be hosting a free concert in the plaza across from Ferguson Brewing Co., and Marley’s.
You should be patronizing your local businesses anyway, but just in case you need a little extra push, knowing your money is going to help those just around the corner should be the nudge you need to get off the couch.
