Two area restaurants have partnered with local charities to raise awareness and funds for Port City organizations.
 
Flaming Amy’s Burrito Barn has partnered with six local charities for the Local Love campaign, a yearlong campaign supporting a variety of causes.
 
Owners Amy and Jay Muxworthy selected charities whose missions they support and assigned each group two months of the year during which they will receive a portion of the profits from Flaming Amy’s Local Love Salsa.
 
For each $5 jar of Local Love Pineapple Jalapeno Salsa, the charities will receive $2.50. The remaining $2.50 covers salsa production expenses. The salsa is available at all Flaming Amy’s locations.
 
The charities benefitting from the Local Love campaign in the upcoming months are:

• Lower Cape Fear Hospice – July
• Good Shepherd Center – August
• Adopt and Angel – September
• Nourish NC – October
• SOAR – November
• The Carousel Center – June and December

Also throughout the month of June, PinPoint Restaurant’s Sunday Supper dinner series has benefited RescueConnect, an organization that helps abused, abandoned and homeless animals.
 
The June dinners have showcased Humble Roots Farm. The family farm, owned by Kyle and Katelyn Stenersen, grows vegetables, pastured-raised eggs, pastured poultry, pork and beef.
 
One three-course dinner remains this month on June 26, with a new charity and new feature farm for the month of July to be announced shorty. Click here for more details.
 
According to a statement from the restaurant, PinPoint has raised over $3,000 for area charities with the Sunday Supper Series.
