Sweetwaters Cares
Sweetwaters takes great pride in our community and our support of local nonprofit organizations.
Thanksgiving Day starts off with a coat give away. Those in need are invited to come to our restaurant to receive a donation. The success of this portion of the holiday event is due in large part from our support from The Windjammer Restaurant.
