As Venezuelans continue to reel from last week’s devastating earthquakes, Miami locals are doing their part to help affected communities. One way is through the culinary scene, with several establishments stepping up to support the relief efforts from afar, whether acting as donation drop-off centers or sending proceeds to charity.
Across Miami Slice Hospitality’s roster of popular restaurants serving pizza slices and late-night arepas, they are donating $1 from specific food items directly to Venezuelan earthquake relief funds. Here’s how you can dine out for a cause this month and support local businesses in the process:
🍕 Miami Slice
If you needed another excuse to brave the line at any of Miami Slice’s locations in downtown Miami or Key Biscayne, this is it. The artisan NY-style slice shop is taking $1 per every margherita slice sold straight to relief organizations. This includes dine-in and takeout orders.
📍 1335 NE Miami Ct, Miami, FL 33132 & 19 Harbor Dr, Key Biscayne, FL 33149
☕️ Tina in the Gables
Whether you’re grabbing a Gables café crème or sitting down for their famous French toast, your brunch run can double as a donation. For the month of July, this all-day brunch spot is directing $1 per every French toast sold — dine-in, takeout or Uber Eats — will be given to Venezuela relief organizations.
📍 4700 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33146
🫓 La Latina
This Midtown arepera that’s been curing locals’ late-night cravings with authentic Venezuelan comfort food for over a decade is not only donating proceeds but serving as a physical drop-off location. For every pabellon arepa sold this month, $1 will be donated toward a Venezuelan organization.
Plus, in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), you can bring non-perishable foods, first aid kits and heavy-duty batteries when you arrive to pick up your food!
