On Tuesday, September 13th, participating Restaurants for Rescues establishments will donate up to 20% of their proceeds to the Humane Society of Charlotte. Restaurants for Rescues is a partnership of Charlotte-area restaurants, bars, and breweries. Since the program's inception in 2018, this initiative has raised over $49,000 for the animals in HSC’s care.
Find a restaurant, bakery, brewery, ice cream shop, or bar near you on the list below, or on the Humane Society of Charlotte's interactive map. If a restaurant has multiple locations, each location may not be participating so be sure to double-check. Let's eat, drink, and save lives!
