This week, Victoria’s Pasta Shop on Campus Corner is participating in a nationwide project raising money to help the world’s children get clean water.
According to a press release, the restaurant is asking people to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually get free. The proceeds will be donated to the second annual Tap Project, set up by the United Nations Children’s Fund.
Victoria’s will accept donations until Saturday, the release said. Last year, more than 2,300 restaurants raised more than $855,000, the release said.
Griffin Miller, a server at the restaurant, said the family of the owner of Victoria’s has supported UNICEF for a long time, and because the Tap Project involves restaurants, they thought it seemed like a good opportunity to get involved.
According to the press release, more than 4,000 children die each day because they are not able to get clean water.
