Restaurants for Relief - Haiti

Please join the National Restaurant Association, Share Our Strength, National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation and your fellow chefs and restaurateurs in Restaurants for Relief-Haiti, an industry-wide initiative to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

We have seen how incredibly generous the restaurant industry is in times of crisis. In 2005, when Share Our Strength launched the first Restaurants for Relief after Hurricane Katrina, the effort raised nearly $1 million for relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast. And for 25 years, chefs and restaurants have demonstrated a nearly limitless generosity of spirit, offering their time and talents to help fight hunger in America. We're calling on your generosity again now for the people of Haiti.

Here's how you can help:

  • Dedicate a day or week and donate a portion of sales to Restaurants for Relief-Haiti.
  • Pick an item from your menu and dedicate sales to Restaurants for Relief-Haiti.
  • Collect donations from your patrons or direct them to our online donation form at www.strength.org/haiti.
  • Encourage your employees to make individual donations to Restaurants for Relief-Haiti, and match them.

The deadline for donations has been extended to February 28, 2010. Donations may be made online or by mail to the following address:

Restaurants for Relief-Haiti
P.O. Box 075362
Baltimore, MD 21275-5362

Please make checks payable to Share Our Strength.

Share Our Strength will grant 100% of funds raised through Restaurants for Relief-Haiti to organizations such as the World Food Programme and Partners in Health, first-responders who are on the ground providing food, temporary shelter, medical care and other vital services.
