A local restaurant is stepping up to lend a helping hand to those impacted by Hurricane Ian in Florida.
Salsa Leedos Mexican Grill in Riverton made a post on their Facebook page on Friday, asking for a wide variety of donations they wanted to gather up and eventually take down to Florida.
Jake Bright, the general manager, said Bonino had the idea early Friday morning to gather donations they could give out to those impacted."Our goal is to get socks, toothbrushes, anything that you can use when everything that you've had has just been taken away from you," said Bright."Probably 15, 20 bags worth of stuff from socks to markers to games for young kids, comfort stuff, dog food," said Bright.
Mary Chmelik works at Salsa Leedos. She moved to Eagle Mountain two months ago from Cape Coral, Florida.It was a place that was hit hard by Hurricane Ian when it made landfall as a Category 4 storm in the southwest part of Florida earlier this week.
