Little Skillet Is Organizing a Street-Food Party for Philippines Flood Relief
Today's food-cart benefit at the San Francisco Food Bank won't be the week's only charity event with street flavor. Little Skillet manager Christian Ciscle told SFoodie he's planning a benefit this Friday, October 2, for victims of recent flooding in the Philippines. Details are still forming, but Ciscle suggested the event would run from 5 to 8 p.m., with food carts parked near Little Skillet's takeout window at 360 Ritch (at Townsend).

J. Birdsall Little Skillet threw its first street-food party on Ritch Street in August.
Ciscle said Little Skillet planned to donating 15 percent of its Friday evening sales (plus all tips) a flood relief agency TBD. He hoped cart vendors would make similar pledges. "San Francisco is the second largest concentration of people from the Philippines in the world," Ciscle said. "We all know people whose families are affected over there."
Tropical Storm Ketsana struck Manila on Saturday. The latest casualty figures put the dead at 246, with 2 million homes flooded.
