SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Azul Latin Kitchen in the Heavenly Village of South Lake Tahoe held a year-long fundraiser that earned $9,500 for the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe (HSTT).

From donating $1 from every Queso Fundido appetizer to hosting their festive taco fundraiser with live music and raffles, the team at Azul truly showed up for local pets and families.

These funds directly support South Lake Tahoe programs like Pet Pantry, Community Spay/Neuter, Wellness Clinics, and youth education initiatives.

Fundraising is a long-standing tradition for Azul Latin Kitchen. Each year, they select a local nonprofit to be the recipient of their fundraising for the year.

“We are beyond grateful for our amazing partners at Azul Latin Kitchen!” said HSTT. “To everyone at Azul and every guest who contributed – THANK YOU. Your support makes lifesaving work possible.”
