Community collection begins Friday, December 16
NEW ORLEANS – To support those impacted by the Dec. 14 tornadoes, Zea Rotisserie & Bar is hosting a Toys & Toiletries Drive at five New Orleans area Zea restaurants from Dec. 16 thru Dec. 21.
“The core of our culture at Zea is to support the communities we serve,” says Zea chef and owner, Greg Reggio. “When something so destructive happens so fast, such as the tornadoes yesterday, we want to put our company to work for our community.”
New, unwrapped toys, toiletries and/or cleaning items can be dropped off at any of the five New Orleans area Zea locations (New Orleans, Harvey, Harahan, Metairie and Kenner) from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will be a designated drop-off location inside the main entrance of each restaurant.

5080 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70118
1655 Hickory Ave., Harahan, LA 70123
