Fundraiser to benefit Habitat

Posted

This year the Columbia Restaurant in downtown St. Augustine, part of the 1905 Family of Restaurants, is celebrating its 27th Annual Community Harvest. It is a month-long celebration of local nonprofits and the work they do.

This event gives Columbia Restaurant customers a chance to designate 5% of their bill, at no extra cost, to one of the pre-selected nonprofits, including Habitat for Humanity of St. Augustine/St. Johns County (Habitat St. Johns).

During the last 26 years of the Community Harvest, the 1905 Family of Restaurants, including the Columbia Restaurant has awarded more than $4 million to Florida nonprofits, including Habitat St. Johns.

Malinda Everson, executive director of Habitat St. Johns, said “The Columbia Restaurant’s generosity helps Habitat for Humanity honor and celebrate our donors, volunteers and community members by providing a meaningful and memorable experience for all.”

The Columbia Restaurant in St. Augustine has a free parking lot located on Spanish Street for those who eat at the restaurant. The restaurant is on St. George Street.
