Disaster Relief Events For North Carolina & Florida

By

With all of the devastation happening around us we often ask the question “what can I do to help?”  Your compassion is vital as we race against time to provide aid, hygiene supplies, support for clinics and shelters, mental health care, and more. You can help rush lifesaving aid to Hurricane Helene survivors and ensure we can continue our mission around the world to provide urgent relief and make a lasting impact for people facing disasters, conflicts, and health crises. A gift to this appeal will be used to support Project HOPE’s mission, wherever the need is greatest. Project HOPE — The People-to-People Health Foundation, Inc. Dba Project HOPE is a 501(c)(3) not‑for‑profit organization, CFC #11115, EIN 53‑0242962.

Here are some local events you can support:

Giovanni’s Fairborn will be open tomorrow, October 15th from 4-8. They will be featuring their Pasta Giovanni, Wings, & also serving up the full pizza menu along with some everyday favorites out of the kitchen. Proceeds are going to help those in North Carolina and Florida.

Smith’ Boathouse in Troy, is hosting a Dine to Donate event where 30% of our sales will be donated directly to those with boots on the ground organizing efforts for disaster relief on Thurs, October 17th.  Please consider joining us that evening and helping this dire cause.Let’s come together as Americans and help those who are suffering and have lost everything!
BLOCK PARTY FOR BLACK MOUNTAIN on Saturday, October 19th, 2024 from Noon-10pm at Miami Valley Gaming, 930 Watertower Lane, West Carrollton, Ohio 45449. Please bring donations to fill a semi trailer full of supplies to drive down to Black Mountain, NC! We will have games, food trucks, music, raffles, drinks (DORA approved), trick or treat for the kids, silent and chance auctions, a car wash and much, much more!
Hurricane Helene has left untold devastation in her path and Black Mountain, NC is just one example of a town left without water, power, food, or the knowledge that they have a home to go back to at all. Black Mountain is dear to our hearts however as it is home to one of our own from West Carrollton – former police officer Dan Wessling and his wife Stephanie.
Dan and Stephanie operate a restaurant in Black Mountain, NC which now serves as a beacon of hope for the community as they have offered up shelter, supplies, and safety. Those supplies and resources are now exhausted and they still need our help! Supply needs are changing daily but as the cold sets in and the clean up phase approaches warm clothing, underwear, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents, blankets, camping gear, tools, gas-powered tools, cleaning supplies, peroxide, rubbing alcohol, feminine care products, towels, wash rags, cotton balls, soap, and anything of the like are certainly helpful!
All are invited to this family-friendly event! Please consider donating supplies, money, or time!

 

Branch & Bone– Through the end of this week they will be donating $1 per pour of our flagship hazy, Spectral Alphabet. So stop on in for a pour today!

The Wandering Griffin Brewery & Restaurant  will donate $1 for every Caleb Czech 6 Pilsner

Yellow Springs Brewery– Each pint of Boat Show and Festbier poured in thir Taprooms until October 15th will donate $1 to relief efforts through NC Disaster Relief Fund, and signage is posted in each of our Taprooms where you can learn more about the effort and scan a QR code to donate directly to the cause.

Rhinegeist Brewery(Cincinnati) will donate $1 from every Beer for Humans sold throughout October.

Lularoe Clothes Dayton After Tornadoes

By

Approximately 20 local LuLaRoe boutique owners, in coordination with nonprofit partner New Path Outreach, are gearing up to distribute 5,000 brand new dresses, skirts, tops, and leggings to women affected by Dayton’s Memorial Day tornado outbreak. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes are invited to participate in a special clothing giveaway scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. on July 29 at The Point Choice Food Pantry, located at 506 East Main Street in Trotwood. Event details are available at https://tinyurl.com/lularoelovesdayton.

Free clothing for women impacted by the Dayton area tornadoes

All women affected by the Memorial Day tornado outbreak, particularly those in Trotwood and surrounding Montgomery, Miami and Greene County communities, are invited to attend this event. Sizes XXS to 3XL will be available, and all items are brand new with tags. This event is made possible through a generous donation from California-based clothing manufacturer LuLaRoe, and all guests will enjoy a personal shopping experience thanks to local LuLaRoe boutique owners.

Additionally, Kosins Tents & Events is transporting all donated clothing to the event location, free of charge.

While each LuLaRoe boutique is independently owned and operated, local LuLaRoe retailer and national top seller Nicolette Winner says giving back and community are part of LuLaRoe’s culture. “The best part of owning my own boutique is helping women of all shapes, sizes and ages feel as beautiful as I already know they are. My friends and I just want local women to feel confident as they face the challenges of rebuilding that lie ahead,” she says. “They need to know they are loved.”

“We appreciate the generosity of LuLaRoe and their independent retailers,” says Executive Director William Lutz of New Path Outreach. “Partnerships like these allow us to help those that really need our assistance in new ways.”

New Path is a faith-based nonprofit organization providing charitable services to residents in Miami County and portions of Montgomery County, including Trotwood and Harrison Township. You can learn more about the organization by visiting its website at www.newpathserves.org.

The mission of LuLaRoe is to create freedom, serve others, and strengthen families through fashion. LuLaRoe is proud of the impact Independent Fashion Retailers are making in their communities. Since the inception of the company’s Community Support Incentive, which encourages retailers to support causes in their own communities, LuLaRoe has donated over $7 million to organizations around the country.

Benefits for Tornado Survivors

By

Over a month ago tornados destroyed many spots in the Miami Valley.  Trotwood, Old North Dayton, Beavercreek and more all felt Mother Nature’s wrath.
The needs are great and while many in our community have rallied to help, the needs  continue and many local businesses are now posting benefit shows and ways to donate funds to recovery efforts.  Here’s a list of upcoming events that will help with recovery efforts:

Tuesday 20% of all Sales will be donated to Tornado Relief from Old Scratch Pizza

Blues, Bikes & Brews for Dayton Tornado Relief all-day music festival!

The event was the brainchild of Doug Hart. He contacted me about putting on a music festival at the Roadhouse to raise money for those affected by the Memorial Day tornados.

Doug has put together a great lineup of Miami Valley talent for a 10 hour music festival that will take place on both of our stages with each band/performer donating an hour of their time and talent for this event.

Tickets are $20 each, with the Roadhouse providing each attendee with a free Biker Burger and a bottle of domestic beer (or soda). Tickets will be available at the main bar starting Saturday, June 8th after 5:00pm. We will have a link on our website to purchase tickets on-line very soon.

We are doing this through The Dayton Foundation and their Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund. 100% of donations to this fund are given to non-profit organizations working directly with those affected by the tornados. The Dayton Foundation does a great job of vetting these organizations to ensure that the proceeds from ticket sales and corporate sponsorships are used to provide the most benefit to those in the greatest need of assistance. In addition, a large local accounting firm has volunteered to audit this fundraiser so that everyone who buys a ticket or becomes a corporate sponsor has assurance that 100% of the proceeds will be going to this very worthy cause.

Local distillery teams up with specialty sauce maker to raise money for tornado relief

All proceeds of the sales of Mutt’s Sauce Limited Edition Bourbon Sauce, made with Stillwrights bourbon produced by Flat Rock Spirits distillery near Fairborn, will go to Dayton-area disaster recovery, according to Charlynda Scales, CEO of Mutt’s Sauce.
The sauce is available for pre-order until July 1 on www.muttssauce.com. Discounts will be given for bulk orders.

Drinkin’ for Dayton

Thurs, Aug 8 from 4-10pm
Cappy’s Wine and Spirits
309 W. Loveland Ave, Loveland OH 45140

We have so many connections with the Dayton Beer Community that we’ve lost count.

And so when we saw the devastation that the recent tornadoes brought to the Dayton area we felt not just a desire but a responsibility to do some good and share our support for our friends and neighbors.

And while the initial response is starting to fade, there is still a tremendous growing need for support.

We’re partnering up with our friends from Warped Wing Brewing Company and The Barrel House to throw an epic party on our patio with $1 per pint and glass of wine being donated to The Dayton Foundation‘s Disaster Relief Efforts. A special shout out and thank you to Sara Stathes, Co-Owner of The Barrel House and former Cappy’s Crew Member, for getting this ball rolling and helping us to identify a non-profit partner for the event.

The Beerded Pig Food Truck of Ohio is serving up Trotty Brattys donated by BrewCity Sausage Co. all night with proceeds going to the cause!

If you know of more events, please comment below and we’ll add them to the list.

Saturday Tornado Relief Efforts

By

SATURDAY JUNE 1 TORNADO DONATION & VOLUNTEER UPDATE

Thank YOU to everyone who has been helping their neighbors this week, and to everyone who has been at work and unable to assist – WELCOME! You are needed!

Important things to keep in mind:

  1. There has been an outpouring of donations this week, and everyone is so grateful! However it is becoming overwhelming for many locations at this time. They need volunteers to help sort and organize supplies so they can get them to people in need. This weekend, let’s focus on volunteerism. NOTE: Donations are going to continue to be needed in weeks to come.
  2. All of Montgomery County’s water has been restored and is no longer under a boil advisory. Donations of water is not as critical as it was earlier this week. Donations are still being accepted (see below for list of locations).
  3. If you get to a location to help or donate, and they turn you away – try not to get discouraged. The outpouring of donations is a good thing, and you are serving others simply by showing up and demonstrating you care. At the very least, say “That’s OK! We can find another place in need. We care about you.” That goes a long way!
  4. Please be patient with those of us who are coordinating efforts. We are doing our best to keep up with the shifting needs and locations. If you don’t know where or what to do, keep reading below – or just get into a ravaged neighborhood and make yourself useful!
