Match donations
Some operations are pledging to match donations made by their customers. Black Restaurant Group, which runs several restaurants around Washington, D.C., plans to add a donation line to customer checks at all of its properties. The restaurant group’s foundation will collect donations for two weeks and will match the funds up to $100,000. Diners can also mail in a check or donate online through the foundation.
Texas salad chain Snappy Salads is donating this week's proceeds from its Change For Change collection at registers in its Dallas and Forth Worth-area locations to those affected by the hurricane, the amount of which the chain will match up to $10,000. And in addition to making a $250,000 donation to Hurricane Harvey relief, Starbucks is letting employees who make personal contributions request matching funds through the company’s Partner Match program.
