WHAT IS
BELLA'S GIVES BACK?
We not only wish to be a great restaurant - providing a dining experience unlike any other in Geneva - but we also want to be good stewards of the community we live in.
Bella's Gives Back was born.
Each month, we endeavor to support a local cause, charity, or non-profit. By pairing up with our selected partner for the month, a portion of each Monday nights business gets donated back to them. We delight in the fact that we are one of, if not the only restaurant in Geneva that strives to give back to the great community we thrive in.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us in our cause to keep giving back to our community by your patronage.
IF YOU HAVE A GROUP, ORGANIZATION, CHARITY, OR NON-PROFIT THAT COULD PROFIT BY OUR BELLA'S GIVES BACK PROGRAM PLEASE CONTACT US AT BELLASGENEVA@GMAIL.COM
