This year’s eighth annual event is setting a new record for support from Portland’s culinary community, with more involved eateries than ever before. Restaurants in Portland, Lake Oswego, and Beaverton have pledged 10-25% of their profits to aid the agency’s life-saving domestic violence shelter and prevention programs. Many beloved restaurants are involved, including Mother’s Bistro & Bar, Ruby Jewel, Pip’s Original Doughnuts & Chai, Quaintrelle, The Country Cat, Radar Restaurant, Acadia Bistro, Farm Spirit, Altabira City Tavern, Hale Pele, Nel Centro, Fifty Licks, Pacific Pie, Ya Hala, and more. A full list of restaurants and a map of their locations can be found at www.raphaelhouse.com. For community members, “Restaurants for Raphael House” offers a simple and delicious way to support local businesses and help fund vital services for families seeking safety. Getting involved is as easy as dining at any participating eatery. For participating restaurants, this is an opportunity to show their commitment to Raphael House’s mission of someday ending domestic violence. As Michelle Glass of Nel Centro shared, “fighting domestic violence takes all of us working together to support organizations like Raphael House.” The choice to be involved is a personal one for GiGi’s Café owner Charlene Wesler.
