To boost support for small, local, and independent food establishments that are gravely affected by the ongoing pandemic, UNKNWN launches a unique dining experience called HAIN: Takeaway, Together.
“The idea behind HAINstemmed from our desire to help the local food and beverage businesses that have been affected by these extraordinary times,” says HAIN co-organizer and restaurateur Samantha Nicole. “We also want to show that these struggling but surviving restaurants are endlessly creating and adapting and that ensuring our industry’s place in the future would require a collective effort.”
