Bars and Restaurants Unite in Gaza Aid: The Benevolent Spirits Initiative

Benevolent Spirits, a hospitality group based in Asheville, North Carolina, is coordinating fundraising activities to benefit World Central Kitchen. The organization has asked bars and restaurants to designate a special cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage for the cause. When customers order the selected drink, the establishment will donate $1 to WCK.

In response to an attack by the Israel Defense Forces that resulted in the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, restaurants across the United States are joining forces to raise money for the humanitarian organization. Participating restaurants in the Carolinas include a diverse range of establishments such as Chai Pani, Botiwalla, Cúrate, La Bodega, Ajja, Chubby Fish, the Montford Rooftop Bar, Soprana Rooftop Cucina, The Crunkleton, Twisted Laurel, Asheville Brewing Co., Posana, High Five Coffee, Seabird
