Our Responsibility
Barnes has always used environmentally conscious materials and practices to reduce our impact and keep costs down, allowing us to pass the savings on to the you. Here’s just a few of the ways:
- Efficiently allocating resources – reducing and reusing where possible.
- Recycling glass, plastic, and paper – recycling with the City of Savannah.
- Reducing electrical consumption with efficient light bulbs and diligent conservation of energy in our offices.
- Composting all food scraps at the Trustee’s Garden in Savannah.
Our Community
The Barnes Restaurant family take great pride in actively participating in the Savannah community we love. Whether we donate pans of food, gift certificates, or money, we try to contribute to those in need. Through the regular donations we make to the Savannah City Mission food bank, Goodwill, and the Habitat for Humanity, we give back in every way we can.
“Its not a trendy thing; we were brought up this way – it was a means of survival, and being aware of our impact. We don’t do it for the recognition; we do it because we are part of the community and we care about our neighbors. Lots of needy organizations fly under the radar and fall short on donations. It’s our duty to try to help”
– Owner Hugh Barnes
