Employees from newly opened Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Hotel recently presented The Community Table with a $1,600 check. Proceeds for the donation were gathered from guest-patrons and employees during the first pre-open days of service at Ruth’s Chris. The Community Table has been ‘adopted’ as a designated non-profit organization by Ruth’s Chris Steak House for an on-going community relationship.

Food is our business and we’d like to extend that common thread out into the community.”
