DINE OUT FOR RELIEF: St. Louis Restaurants Team-Up to Aid the Gulf Coast
St. Louis area restaurants have joined forces to create a way for St. Louis area residents and visitors help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A portion of restaurant sales receipts at participating restaurants and retailers on Thursday, September 8 and Friday, September 9 will be donated to hurricane relief organizations. Monies collected will be divided equally between the Salvation Army and the Marshall Faulk Foundation’s Katrina Relief Fund. Marshall Faulk, St. Louis Rams star runningback, is a New Orleans native.
The effort is being coordinated by Sauce Magazine, a St. Louis-area publication that features stories on St. Louis restaurants, wineries and culinary-related establishments and events. An ever-growing list of participants can be found at http://www.stlkatrinarelief.com.
