The Spanish tapas restaurant will donate 100 percent of sales to the American Red Cross when individuals, couples and families dine at the restaurant for lunch or dinner on Tues., Sept. 14.
“We’re welcoming everybody to help us raise some funds,” said owner Hossein Jamali the other evening during a special event in the Pavilion at Mesón Sabika. “Whether lunch or dinner, every dollar will go to the Red Cross to help people affected by recent natural disasters. We’re hoping for another big success.”
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of recent disasters, including wildfires, flooding, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Mesón Sabika fundraising fulfills unmet needs, makes a difference
When a natural disaster happens, Mesón Sabika often has partnered with the American Red Cross to enable the nonprofit humanitarian organization efficiently to provide shelter, food and emotional support to victims of disasters.
According to the Red Cross website that always lists its current focus in the wake of a disaster, “The Red Cross supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.” As of Sept. 12, 2021, the focus is on Hurricane Ida as well as the need for volunteers and blood donations.
The Red Cross depends on trained and certified volunteers as well as the generosity of the American public while it’s also known to collaborate with other humanitarian organizations such as the Salvation Army in order to perform its mission.
