Eat & Drink to Help the McKenzie Recovery!

ByTom Atkinson

Nick & Michelle Larsen, owners of The Tap & Growler near Eugene’s 5th Street Market, are helping with the McKenzie relief efforts by donating 15% of their gross sales Mon thru Thurs this week.

From Oct 12 to 15, 15% of our gross sales will go to the McKenzie Community Development Corp. (CDC). Money from the fundraiser will assist in covering the cost of rebuilding starting with cleaning home sites to helping those who FEMA denies funding.

If you want to support the recovery in the valley we all love so dearly, head over to The Tap & Growler, 207 E 5th Ave, Eugene, OR 97401 and eat, drink and be merry! You can also visit the CDC’s McKenzie Recovery webpage where you can donate directly via Paypal. Many thanks to all those who have already done this!
