Popular Windsor restaurant, Smoke & Spice, wants to give back to the community that has helped make them so successful by starting a program that will donate a portion of their customers bills to local charities.
“We’re really local-minded and we want to take that beyond our product offering” says Smoke & Spice manager, Duane Neveu. “All our wines are from Essex County, we have a great Ontario craft brewery selection, but beyond that we wanted to do something more.”
What they have come up with is pretty simple. For a week, the restaurant will sell $20 gift certificates (available only on the Smoke & Spice website) and up to $10 will go to a participating charity or non-profit.
“Bingos aren’t what they used to be. Raising funds is probably more difficult than it’s ever been” states Duane. “We’re in a position to help due to the fact our restaurant is popular right now. It’s doing well, and although tomorrow people might not care at all about barbeque, we’re in a position to help these organizations make a good deal of money.”
To be able to take advantage of this, the non-profit must be local with the bulk of its donations remaining in this area. This week, the participating charity is W.E. Care for Kids.
