100% of the profit from these sales will be donated to help victims of hurricane sandy. the proceeds will go to 2 organizations – the first, Masbia Soup Kitchen (www.masbia.org), is a network of 3 soup kitchens in NYC that has been providing nutritious meals to the needy in the Rockaways since well before the hurricane hit. Masbia is unique in its work in that one of their founding principles is that all guests are treated with respect and dignity – all meals are served in a well-lit restaurant style setting, with volunteer servers waiting on each guest as they would in any other restaurant. and the second, Red Hook Recovers (https://redhook.recovers.org/), a community based organization that mobilizes local help to assist in their recovery.

with our help, we can make this holiday season a little bit better for those who need it!
