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.

All contributions will be forwarded to the Episcopal Relief & Development Haiti Fund. Contributions to the Haiti Fund will help provide critical assistance in the aftermath of the January 12 earthquake. Episcopal Relief & Development is working with its partners in affected areas to provide technical aid and meet immediate needs such as food, water, shelter and medical care; and coordinate a long-term response. The agency is committed to continuing its support throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process.

Please ask your server or a manager about making a donation today.
