To celebrate the beginning of the season of giving, Wintzell’s Oyster House locations throughout the State of Alabama will host the inaugural “Week of Giving.”
Funds raised at each event will stay in the communities where they are raised.
“We challenged team members at each Wintzell’s location to select a charity of their choice, develop a “Week of Giving” plan and we would support their efforts,” said Wintzell’s owner Buffy Donlon. “We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and the creative ideas presented by all of the Wintzell’s restaurant teams and look forward to this week-long celebration.”
Wintzell’s “Week of Giving” joins a growing list of local and corporate sponsored events supporting community projects. Each year, Wintzell’s donates more than $100,000 to non-profits across the state.
As part of Wintzell’s “Week of Giving,” Greenville’s location is holding “Pups on the Patio” Saturday.
Pet owners are encouraged to dine with their pups on the patio of the restaurant and 10 percent of all lunch and dinner sales from patio diners will be donated t the Butler County Humane Society.
All non-aggressive dogs on leashes are welcome.
