Through this new initiative, the local restaurant group will donate a portion of the proceeds from orders of its Company Crab Cake — found on the menu at each of its restaurant locations — to local nonprofit organizations.

The first Crab Cakes for a Cause nonprofit partnership is Meals on Wheels of Greenville County, which provides nourishment and friendship through hand-delivered meals to ~1,500 households in Greenville County every day.

Rick Erwin Dining Group kicked off the new partnership by donating $25,000 at the nonprofit’s Sweetheart Charity Ball, which will support its efforts to provide meals across the county.

How can you help? Book a reservation at any Rick Erwin’s location and come hungry for The Company Crab Cake.
