Plates for Paws

Dine Out. Give Back. Save Lives.
Join us May through August, for Plates for Paws, a delicious way to support the Humane Society of Charlotte!
Since 2018, this heartwarming event has raised over $60,000 to help animals in need find loving homes. This year, local restaurants, cafes, bars, and breweries are once again opening their hearts (and paws!) to donate a portion of their sales to give pets a second chance.
How It Works
✅ Dine at a participating restaurant and a portion of your bill will be donated to HSC.
✅ Enjoy amazing food and drinks while making a difference for local animals.
✅ Spread the word—invite friends and family to join in and support!
Calling All Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries! 🍽️🍻
Join us for Plates for Paws and make a difference for Charlotte’s animals—one dish, drink, or donation at a time!
This year, we’re offering even more flexibility:
Choose a traditional giving level (10%, 15%, or 20%) or create your own fundraising plan! Whether it’s a specialty cocktail, featured menu item, or week-long promotion vs. the one day on 5/14, we welcome your creativity.
Perks for Participating Partners Include:
🐾 Your logo and website link featured on the Plates for Paws webpage
🐾 Promotional materials to help spread the word
🐾 Social media features reaching 90,000+ followers
Looking for a custom way to contribute? We’re happy to chat about options that suit your business. Plus, upon request, an HSC rep can be on-site during your event to engage with guests and share the impact of your support.
With 60,000+ email subscribers and 90,000+ social media followers, our goal is to support our restaurant partners as much as they support us.
