I'd be interested in helping in some capacity (spreading word, etc.).

Sala Thai is doing something on January 10 at the new U Street location

...and that is all I know.

Kaz Sushi Bistro is requesting $10 donations. Each donation gets you an entry in a contest for a tasting dinner for two.

Java Green will donate 15% of all sales on Thursday, January 6th and Friday, January 7th to organizations supporting the Tsunami relief efforts. In addition, the staff are contributing their tips all week.

Java Green is located right around the corner at 1020 19th Street (between L and K).

I've heard that the Post is going to run a story tomorrow listing local fundraising events.

Starbucks is donating a percentage (I forget how much) when you buy Sumatran coffee beans.

Tom's chat (1/5) mentioned more local businesses.

Here's the aforementioned Post list.

Add to that Bangkok Joe's and THAI Shirlington. Here's their deals:

"Every time Chef Bunyarataphan's three-course lunch and dinner menu for

Restaurant Week are ordered, Bangkok Joe's will donate five dollars to the

Royal Thai Embassy, Washington, DC's tsunami relief fund. The menu,

available starting Monday, January 10th, will be offered through the end of

the month. T.H.A.I. in Shirlington, Bangkok Joe's sister restaurant, will

donate five dollars to the relief fund every time a guest orders the

restaurant's monthly special during January."

Nice way of incorporating restaurant week into the relief effort...

Vermilion, Tallula and Evening Star Cafe are donating a percentage of sales from lunch & dinner shifts on Tuesday, January 18th. Wait staff and managers who wish to participate are also contributing tips and salaries from that day.

If you haven't been to one of these places in a while or have been meaning to try them out, next Tuesday might be a good time to go...
