Two Gaslight Village businesses. One shared cause. ❤️

On Monday, September 14, Olives Restaurant and Coiffeteria Salon are teaming up to support Covenant House with a dual fundraiser right here in East Grand Rapids.

Here’s how you can take part:
✨ Olives will donate 20% of sales from 5–9pm
✨ Coiffeteria Salon will donate 20% of all in-salon retail purchases that day and will also match Olives’ donation

Covenant House provides shelter, support, and resources for young people facing homelessness and trafficking, helping them move toward safety, stability, and independence.

It’s a great opportunity to support two local Gaslight Village businesses while also giving back to an organization making a meaningful difference.

Shop at Coiffeteria during the day, then make plans for dinner at Olives that evening and help us spread the word.

📅 Monday, September 14
⏰ Olives Dine to Donate: 5–9pm

Share this post with your Grand Rapids friends and help us make this community fundraiser a big one. And remember the more you spend, the more they donate!
