To Benefit the Red Hook Initiative: Taste of Red Hook

 
Home-img
Red Hook Initiative is a group which works to confront and affect the consequences
of intergenerational poverty through an approach that offers support in
education, employment, health and community development. We believe
that social change comes from within individuals.

The momentum to
improve the quality of life for Red Hook's residents – as well as the
community at large – must come from the people living in the community.
Currently over 95% of our employees live in the Red Hook Houses. We are
creating a model for social change that does not exist anywhere else in
the city.

Presently, they are working
hard to create a new home by spring 2009. And they're getting help from a bunch of Red Hook restaurants who are generously donating each year to their Taste of Red Hook event.

Starting TONIGHT: Tuesday, February
17, 2009, five local restaurants will take part in TASTE OF RED HOOK
TUESDAYS. For the next four weeks, participating restaurants will
donate 10% of their Tuesday night proceeds to the RHI building fund.

 
So come out to
Red Hook for dinner or a drink and show your support by eating at these
great restaurants on Tuesdays: 2/17, 2/24, 3/3, and 3/10. Be sure to
mention that you're there as part of Taste of Red Hook Tuesdays.
