Columbia launches annual Community Harvest, raising millions for worthy causes for 27 years

The 27th annual Community Harvest kicks off at all 1905 Family of Restaurants locations, including Columbia Restaurant, Columbia Cafe, Ulele, Casa Santo Stefano, Goody Goody Burgers, and Cha Cha Coconuts. It’s a way to give back while dining at some of the most iconic restaurants in Florida.

Throughout September, the restaurants will donate 5 percent of all lunch and dinner checks to local charities—at no additional cost to the guests. With every bill, customers receive a ballot listing various non-profit organizations to choose from, and they also have the option to write in a charity not on the list.

Over the past 26 years, the 1905 Family of Restaurants has donated $4 million to local charities, all chosen by their guests during this annual September tradition.

The Columbia in Ybor City is regarded as one of the most iconic restaurants in Florida, and Ulele just celebrated its 10-year anniversary on the waterfront.
