In the wake of a natural disaster the size and scope of Hurricane Harvey, it’s easy to feel helpless. But Dakota and Vieux Carré want to push past that helplessness. In conjunction with our friends at Harvest Pack, co-owners Richard Erickson & Lowell Pickett have organized events in order to contribute to the enormous need brought on by this natural disaster. In conjunction with the food pack event at Vieux Carré, Dakota will donate $5 to the Houston Food Bank for every person who attends a show at the Dakota between the 1st and 5th of September. An auction will be held online September 5th for tickets to upcoming Dakota and Vieux Carré shows. 100% of proceeds will be added to our total donation.

community in need this coming week.
