CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Al Basha in Dairy Market donated 100% of its proceeds from Monday and Tuesday to help those recovering from the devastating earthquake in Morocco.
The goal was to raise enough money to fix a few destroyed homes.
“There’s a lot of people [who have] been sleeping for days on the street,” said Al Basha owner Omar Al Basha.
He plans to continue to donate a portion of the restaurant’s proceeds until its goal is met.
