Rosa Mexicano Donates 15% of Lunch and Dinner Checks to Local Charities Through Its "Guac for Good" Initiative
DC Central Kitchen is beneficiary on Tuesday, October 9 at the Restaurant's Penn Quarter and National Harbor locations
Guac for Good, a dine-for-dollars fundraising event created by Rosa Mexicano - serving contemporary Mexican cuisine rooted in authentic flavors in cities nationwide - comes to the Washington Metropolitan area on Tuesday, October 9, 2018.
Diners are invited for lunch or dinner at two Rosa Mexicano locations in the DC Metro Area. The Penn Quarter restaurant is located at 575 7th Street at F Street, NW, Washington, DC. The National Harbor restaurant is located at 153 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD.
Rosa Mexicano diners will “chip in for a cause.” Fifteen percent of diners’ lunch and dinner sales will be donated to the local charity DC Central Kitchen, which develops and operates social ventures targeting the root causes of hunger and poverty in our nation’s capital.
“Rosa Mexicano is proud to be a good neighbor in each community we serve our fine Mexican cuisine,” said Chris Westcott, company CEO. “Our ‘Guac for Good’ initiative is our way of giving back, by supporting community-based organizations that make a major difference. DC Central Kitchen has been a game-changer for nearly three decades, by restarting the lives of homeless people and training them for careers in the foodservice industry. We are honored to be supporting their important mission.”
To support DC Central Kitchen during Guac for Good, Rosa Mexicano guests must let their server know that they would like 15% of their check to be credited as a gift to the organization. Guests can participate in Guac for Good in three ways: by telling their server verbally; by showing a Guac for Good invitation received via email from the organization; or by showing their server the graphic from social media.
