Tijuana Flats Tex-Mex restaurant set up a food truck, and 20 percent of the proceeds went to the families affected by the fire.

“Everyone has shown so much gratitude and they are just thankful that someone is stepping up to help, not just us but other communities too,” said Shannon Rowe, co-owner of Tijuana Flats Tex-Mex. “It’s not about us today, it’s about helping our neighbors so we just wanted to be able to do that and show we can be good neighbors as a business.”

The restaurant is also accepting donations for the families.
