“Gently loved Christmas toy collection to benefit migrant families – Santa Con Sabor!”

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“Lena puts the magic in Santa’s sleigh!

With 3 toy drop off (gas) stations, she makes sure there are gently loved regalos to go the whole way
By way of Ethiopia 20 years ago, she now makes sure other migrant children have a holiday bright
Toys drop offs and top offs and to all a good night!

Lena, a deep-hearted community leader, distributed food for us out of one of her five gas stations during the pandemic. Now she brings Santa to 3 of her stations to ensure migrant children have gently loved toys. This is not an abstract concept for her. She came here 20 years from Ethiopia as a Black muslim migrant and knows intimately what it is like to live with little. See it all here and find your way to 1 of her stations in the DMV or all 3!

Over the many years of our working next to each other, I have seen Chef David and his business partner, Silvan, bust their asses to make Stable one of the finest dining establishments on H ST and in all of NE. Like many restaurants, they have had to fight the pandemic, rising crime, ever changing DC restaurant regulations and they have done so by basically by living at their restaurant and producing a consistently amazing product. They are also two of the friendliest dudes you could ever meet.

Unfortunately, Chef David has been beset by two life-altering events: (more…)
