Now Accepting Applications and Donations for California Wildfires Assistance

The application for our California Wildfires Relief Fund, which supports food and beverage workers affected by the 2025 disaster, is now open. Find the application here.

We have committed an initial funding amount of $300,000 for this relief effort. However, we know that many more food and beverage workers are in need, and we can provide further assistance with your help. If you’re interested in supporting our response efforts, please consider donating.

WHERE WILL I BE COOKING:

Lees Den—part of Benjy Levit’s Local Foods Group—is a speakeasy-style wine bar featuring limited production, rare-find wines handpicked by General Manager Chrisanna Shewbart and offered at below-retail prices.

A warm, cozy interior studded with vibrant plants has served as an unexpected oasis in the middle of Rice Village’s hustle and bustle since April 2022.

The wine bar is situated above Local Foods – Rice Village, which also houses Local Foods Market, at 2424 Dunstan Road, #125.
