Fort Worth-area restaurant raises over $40K in support of Texas flood victims
La Bistro Italian Grill, a fine-dining restaurant in Hurst known for supporting community events, has raised over $40,000 for Hill Country flood victims, the owners said Thursday on Facebook.
'This was a massive effort for our small family restaurant, and while it was a ton of work, we are so happy we did it,' the post reads.
The fundraiser ran from July 7-10. The Benouared family, the establishment's owners, pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds to help those affected by the July 4 floods that have left at least 135 dead and dozens missing.
'We hope this $40,081.80 brings real help to the families who are hurting, and we promise to be good stewards of every dollar,' the post states. 'We'll be sharing exactly where the funds are going in the coming days.'
The owners thanked the community for its outpouring of support, and said they were able to raise far more than they had imagined.
La Bistro, 722 Grapevine Highway, is an old-time fine-dining Italian restaurant that has been serving North Texas for over 40 years.
