On Monday June 22, SoulNia owners and life partners, Kamiya Willoughby and Tess Hurlburt are set to host a pop-up dinner at The Bindery in LoHi. Known for offering vegetarian soul food with a purpose, SoulNia will present a four-course menu including drink pairings to the soundtrack of soul music and old school rhythm and blues mixed by KDJabove. It will be available for both take-out and limited dine-in seating.
The light southern cuisine fare will include a southern pearl shooter (seasonal melons and cucumbers marinated in honey, cayenne and lime), mama’s trio (whiskey barrel cornbread, vegan macaroni and cheese and slow cooked collard greens), zucchini fritters and a sweet potato casserole.
Similar to the menu curated with love, a 20% of the dinner’s proceeds will be donated to Black Lives Matter 5280and The Center on Colfax —a welcoming place for Colorado’s proud and diverse LGBTQ community. In addition, Linda Hampsten Fox, owner and chef of The Bindery will be matching SoulNia’s donations to each organization postively impacting both the black and LGBTQ communities.
To purchase tickets ($79 per person), call The Bindery at (303) 993-2364. It is located at 1817 Central St., Denver.
Can we order to go? I know it’s not the same…
So sorry for the delay, but yes! You can.
Do we know what percentage of their proceeds will be donated?
Historically, it’s important to clarify this so that people don’t support orgs who are exploiting movements for profit. This can, at least partially, be discerned with percentage of funds donated as opposed to ambiguous numbers (as reported above), or solid dollar amounts as different amounts mean different things to different businesses. (I.e. $1000 from Amazon v. $1000 from a small business)
We’ve reached out to see if they can provide us with that info
With The Bindery’s match, 20% of the proceeds will go to each organization. We’ve updated the article.
