SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A number of Bay Area businesses are holding fundraisers and pop-up events to support those affected by the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
At Banter Wine in El Cerrito, the vino is flowing for a good cause.
Every glass poured, every small bite served, every customer that shows up helps make a difference. 5 percent of all sales at the wine bar goes to World Central Kitchen to help the fire victims in Los Angeles.
“We felt really compelled to join in whatever way we could,” said owner Claire Sullivan.
She says the devastating fires hit home. Sullivan’s husband lost his family home during the Tubbs Fire in Santa rosa.
“My partner’s house–his parents’ house– burnt down in the 2017 fire. And after seeing how widespread these fires down south have been, we felt motivated in the small way that we can to contribute.”
