If there's one thing we've learned during the season of giving, it's that the little things can quickly turn into big things. If you have plans on the calendar to dine out this month, consider reservations at one of these Nashville restaurants raising money for a cause.

🍽️ Butcher & Bee + Redheaded Stranger

The two eateries have partnered with the Independent Restaurant Coalition, an organization formed to assist independent restaurants and employees. $1 from an order of Butcher & Bee's schmashed potatoes or a Pickin' and A-Ginnin' will be donated to IRC as well as Redheaded Stranger's burrito.

🍽️ TailGate Brewery

The brewery teamed up the Nashville Humane Association to release its Adoption Ale this past week. Canine friends Albus and Rosie reigned supreme for a feature on the can after the campaign raised $43,000. All six TailGate taprooms will continue to donate $1 per pint and 4-pack to NHA.

🍽️ Dining with Gratitude

As many as 10 Nashville restaurants — like Anzie Blue, Pastaria, and Succulent Vegan Tacos, just to name a few — have partnered with The Giving Kitchen through Mon., Oct. 31 to donate $1,000+ to aid in providing emergency assistance to food service workers. Dining at the participating restaurants this month supports that cause. Some restaurants even have fundraising pages set up to donate directly to the nonprofit.
