King County restaurants are throwing fundraisers to help rescue efforts and victims affected by catastrophic flooding at the Nepal-China border.
Kathmandu MomoCha in Seattle’s South Lake Union said every dollar will be matched for meals purchased this Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant’s flyer said proceeds collected from the two-day fundraiser will be donated to Nepal’s Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund.
“Even though I’m far away from my people, we can do something for the people in need over there,” said Mandira Dangul, owner of Kathmandu MomoCha.
At Aahaar, an Indian Eatery in Snoqualmie, owner Ramya Balachandran said her Taste of Hope fundraiser, which was started for Spokane fire victims, has been revived to help relief efforts in Nepal.
“This effort is very close to our hearts,” Ramya Balachandran said.
From now through Sunday, Balachandran says her fundraiser will donate 80% of every mango lassi, vegetable samosa, butter chicken, or combination package to GlobalGiving.
