City Councilman Joseph Addabbo Jr. announced that he has arranged a plan to aid the victims of China’s recent earthquake where the death toll has risen above 50,000. Howard Beach business owner Danny Chan, who owns Danny’s Szechuan Garden, located at 164-14 Cross Bay Blvd., will join Addabbo’s efforts.
Chan will donate half of the total receipts from lunch and dinners at his restaurant on two consecutive Thursdays, June 5 and 12, through the American Red Cross.
"Once again, Danny Chan has offered to help those in need,” Addabbo said. “I thank and commend him for his generosity and good community character.” The councilman noted that Chan assisted in a similar way to send funds to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The 7.9 quake hit China on May 12 and reduced schools, factories, homes, hospitals and other buildings to rubble. The extent of the earthquake damage has yet to be measured, as aid from around the world is being sent to the ravaged areas. China officials have said that more than 220,000 people were being treated for injuries sustained as a result of the earthquake.
For information, call Addabbo’s office at (718) 738-1111.
