Lotus Restaurant of Auburn presented Good Shepherd Food Bank with $10,000 as the result of contributions from customers and matching funds from the owners. Around $4,000 was collected, matched by owner Jimmy Wu and rounded up to an even $10,000 cash. Lotus also donated the day’s worth of expenses toward the overall fundraiser, including paying employees and the cost of food, which added about $20,000 as an in-kind contribution.
