🗳️ Make your vote count—over dinner! 🥗
INK! is proud to share that our Take Stock in Children of St. Johns County program has once again been selected as a beneficiary of the 1905 Family of Restaurants’ 28th Annual Community Harvest, taking place throughout the month of September 2025.
For more than a decade, we have been fortunate to be included among the local charities chosen to benefit from this generous initiative. Over the years, Take Stock in Children of St. Johns County has received more than $30,000 in support through Community Harvest. These funds allow us to provide Columbia Restaurant gift certificates for our dedicated volunteers, honor our Teacher of the Year award winners, and offer exciting raffle prizes at INK!’s fundraising events—all while supporting student success.
Each September, guests dining at the historic Columbia Restaurant in downtown St. Augustine are given a ballot to select their favorite local nonprofit. At the end of the meal, 5% of the guest’s check is donated directly to the chosen organization. With every meal, diners are making a difference!
The impact of this program is remarkable. Since its founding in 1998, the Community Harvest has donated more than $4.4 million to nonprofit organizations across Florida. In 2024 alone, more than 100 nonprofit groups participated, each receiving meaningful support thanks to the generosity of the 1905 Family of Restaurants and their patrons.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the 1905 Family of Restaurants, the employees of our local Columbia Restaurant – St. Augustine, and every guest who chooses INK!’s Take Stock in Children program when they dine. Your support ensures that we can continue mentoring, inspiring, and investing in the students of St. Johns County.
Together, we are building brighter futures—one meal, one student, one community at a time. 💙
