Tomorrow, people dining in more than 70 restaurants in the Kansas City area will be helping the victims of the JJs explosion.
The Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association (GKCRA) has organized the effort. Participating restaurants will donate 10 percent of sales tomorrow, Saturday, February 23, to support employees injured in the fire.
The association says the donations will be given to JJ’s Restaurant owner, Jimmy Frantze, and his management team to help his staff convalesce.
