2020 has been a strange year for restaurants and everyone because of the Covid19 pandemic. When our restaurant was shut down except for takeout in mid March and 26 employees laid off, we also suspended the grants for a while. We made less money from our ATMs and decided not to give tiny amounts to charities that weren't able to hold the events we were helping to fund. Our giving in 2020 breaks down like this:
GIFT CARDS
Even though most organizations could not hold in-person events we did support several organizations with over $1,000 in gift cards for online raffles and virtual gatherings.
Meridian, Children Beyond Borders, ALZs Place, Girl Scouts, Climb for Cancer, Habitat for Humanity, Days for Girls, Corner Drug Store, Windsor Volunteer Fire Dept, YNOT Theater, Equality Florida, Keep Alachua County Beautiful, Alachua County Crisis Center and many more non profits.
Contact satchelsdonation@gmail (with one month's notice) for a gift card for your raffle, auction, event.
