Fegley’s Brew Works Encourages Diners to Donate to Haiti Relief

JanFeb
2114

The disaster in Haiti is truly horrifying. Recent estimates indicate that at least three million people have been affected by the earthquake. In addition to the destruction of innumerable homes, many major structures have been reduced to rubble including the presidential palace and the UN peacekeeper compound.

Working with help from Grace Episcopal Church in Allentown, both the Fegley’s Allentown and Bethlehem Brew Works are encouraging our dining guests to make a donation to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We will add on the donation to your bill at the end of your meal. For every dollar you or other members of your party donate, we will give you a form to register for a gift card drawing; each location will be drawing separately for a $100, a $50, and a $25 gift card. The drawing for the six cards will be conducted by a member of Grace Church on Sunday, February 14th.
