Though Eta has affected more than 2.5 million people from Panama to Belize, the impact has been most severe in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras.

You are welcome and encouraged to drop off anything you can at the restaurant,  and co-owner Rafael Larios III emphasized “anything.” Clothes, tools, cans, diapers, blankets, tarps, the need is so great, that he said he’s find himself in desperate need of the boxes and tape necessary to package the stuff.
