Crave DFW: Dallas Restaurants Supporting Human Rights Day
Crave DFW did a lovely write up on our efforts to celebrate Human Rights Day!
“On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “Human Rights Day DFW will encourage us to carve out December 10th each year, to think and talk about what human rights means to each of us,” says Sanjeeb Samanta, Leader of Global Customer Support Operations at Texas Instruments and the HRI board member who conceived the event. “On this day, we’ll come together as a community to show we care for those who have suffered human rights abuse.”
Restaurants across North Texas continue to join the effort; food-lovers who care about human rights can find an up-to-date list here. Chef Graham Dodds, culinary director of the Statler hotel, has played an advisory role and assisted in organizing the event. “I’m so excited to be part of this great cause,” he says. “Helping refugees is so dear to my heart. It’s inspiring how many fellow chefs are jumping in to benefit our local community.””
