The City Fire restaurants in The Villages and their customers are stepping up to lend a hand after 13 service members were killed in Afghanistan.
“It’s such a heartbreaking time. We felt like we needed to do something,” said City Fire owner Gina Buell.
When she learned about Operation Recovery, she knew she’d found an answer. Operation Recovery, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is supporting veteran-owned businesses that are seeking to repatriate American citizens and Afghan allies. Donations will directly influence operations for the movement of at-risk individuals out of Afghanistan.
Those who donate at least $13 to Operation Recovery will receive a complimentary cocktail or draft beer at the City Fire locations at Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood Paddock Square.
“All donations go directly to Operation Recovery,” Buell said.
