Ten Acres Lodge - A Stowe Vermont Bed and Breakfast

We just announced a new program we are starting in conjunction with our restaurant, Lagniappe, to help those in need. Since the restaurant at Ten Acres Lodge offers cajun/creole cuisine, it was just a natural fit. Please consider donating to the Greater New Orleans Foundation or any other charity providing support to those who are affected by the Gulf oil spill.

Press Release
For Immediate Release
June 3, 2010

Ten Acres Lodge and its restaurant, Lagniappe, are pleased to announce that the month of June will begin a series of charitable donations that will attempt to help those in need wherever they may be. This month, Lagniappe will donate a portion of sales for the month of June to the Greater New Orleans Foundation. This foundation, rated 4 stars by Charity Navigator, has established an oil spill fund which is designed to assist with clean up efforts and to help fishermen experiencing financial hardship.

The selection of the foundation was a careful one, ensuring that money sent gets to those in need and not to administrative costs. Owner Frank Wilson remarked, “the connection Lagniappe has to Louisiana is an obvious one so the selection of a charity addressing the oil spill was easy.”

In addition, Wilson says the employees have embraced the concept. “Our employees have stepped to the plate and offered to help as well”, Wilson said. “I’m proud of the quality of people we have working here.”

Customers are encouraged to ask about the foundation when they visit.
