We have joined forces with restaurants, breweries, wineries, and coffee shops to bring you "Dine or Drink out to Support Ukraine" all day Wednesday, March 9. 
On Wednesday, March 9, 2022, participating area restaurants will donate a percent of their daily sales to World Central Kitchen, which is working to feed Ukrainians through this crisis. Right now, the organization has 8 sites set up at border crossings in Poland, and is also delivering meals within Ukraine. 

All participating Gorge eateries and drinkeries have pledged to donate at least 10% of sales. Each participating restaurant is in charge of deciding what percent of sales it would like to donate to the cause. After the event is complete, we will be able to see how much our community raised, here. ​
​
Please join us to support feeding Ukrainians by dining or drinking out on Wednesday March 9, 2022.

why world central kitchen?

The short answer? Aaron from Solstice Kitchen believes in the work of World Central Kitchen so much that he started this fundraiser to support them. The organization and cause is one that resonates with Aaron. 

This project started as a fundraiser at Solstice, but Aaron is a big-picture thinker and started looping in other area restaurants like Pfriem, Camp 1805, Pine Street, 10 Speed, and Egg River. Then, he felt like more could be done, so he contacted Hood River Eats to see if we knew anyone else that would want to participate. 

We started by double-checking that World Central Kitchen is a good cause. It is! The organization has a score of 100 on Charity Navigator. And more importantly, as we started to rally local eateries, many of them were familiar with and confident in World Central Kitchen.​
