As Harvey continues to flood Houston and much of southeast Texas, we’re just beginning to reckon with the enormous scale of a disaster that has displaced thousands and caused untold damage to people’s homes and livelihoods. North Texans are among the many donating time and money to relief efforts across the state. There are plenty of ways you can help.
A number of Dallas bars, restaurants, and venues are also contributing to the response. We’ve compiled a list, and will keep adding to it throughout the week. Please leave any suggestions in the comments, or email [email protected].
- Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum is donating all of its sales from 5 to 10 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, Aug. 29) to organizations helping respond to Harvey.
- Both Double Wide and Single Wide will be donating all of their sales on Thursday, Aug. 31, to flood relief efforts.
- Central Track is putting together a one-night campaign, set for Sept. 6, that will enlist Dallas bars and restaurants to contribute 20 percent of their sales on that day to a fund for Trusted World, which is coordinating Harvey relief efforts in North Texas. Venues that have signed on to #DTX4HTX so far include Black Swan, City Tavern, Easy Slider, Independent Bar + Kitchen, The Nines, Stirr, and Off The Record.
