I realized that I'm numb to buying something for myself that costs $20, but I know I can help if I donate that $20 instead.

There's a dog rescue that also has a casual F&B business in the same place so you can hang out with friends for brunch while surrounded by 20 dogs. Most of these dogs are ready for adoption and you can meet your new family member here, while the rest are recovering from medical conditions that they're being treated from. It's the only ethical "dog cafe" that I've ever seen and they use the proceeds to house the dogs and provide neutering & vaccines drives to underprivileged areas.
