Eat Well. Do Good.
Help Meals On Wheels of Tampa by Dinning at any Columbia-Affiliated Restaurants in September
Support Meals On Wheels of Tampa just by dining at any of the locations of the 1905 Family Of Restaurants. Community Harvest involves each of the Columbia locations, including Ybor City in the historic district of Tampa, St. Armands Circle in Sarasota, St. Augustine, Sand Key on Clearwater Beach, Central Florida’s town of Celebration, the Columbia Cafe on the Riverwalk in downtown Tampa at the Tampa Bay History Center and the Columbia Restaurant Cafe at Tampa International Airport. AND NEW THIS YEAR also expands to include Cha Cha Coconuts, Ulele, Goody Goody and Casa Santo Stefano!
Through its month-long Community Harvest program, now in its 25th year, the company donates 5 percent of all diners’ checks to charities selected by the guests. Over the last 24 years, this program provided more than $3 million to non-profit organizations throughout Florida.
The process is simple: Choose a charity from a ballot that’s provided with the check. The restaurant calculates the 5 percent and provides the charity with gift certificates that can be used at any of the restaurants for up to 12 months. There’s no additional cost to the guest.
“We started this program as a way to help many of the worthy non-profit groups that are so important to our communities,” said 4th generation family member and president Richard Gonzmart. “I can’t believe how much it has grown in 25 years. We’re excited this year to extend the ballots and gift certificates to all our restaurant concepts, which should provide a real increase in our donations to the charities.”
For reservations, go to the websites of the participating restaurants.
