This Sunday, Hotel 1829 will host a special brunch in support of My Brother’s Workshop, a nonprofit that has been changing lives in the Virgin Islands since 2007. Guests will enjoy the hotel’s signature Sunday brunch while contributing to an organization that provides hope, healing, and purpose to at-risk youth across the territory.

My Brother’s Workshop has served more than 1,600 young men and women, guiding them to discover their passions and build brighter futures. The organization takes a holistic approach that combines mentorship, education, counseling, on-the-job training, and job placement. Through its wide range of training programs, participants acquire skills in various fields, including culinary arts, customer service, retail, sewing, carpentry, construction, marine repair, welding, electrical work, plumbing, masonry, and more.

A portion of the proceeds from Sunday brunch, along with all sales of a featured signature cocktail, will go directly to My Brother’s Workshop. Every donation supports these life-changing programs, ensuring that young people in the Virgin Islands have access to opportunities and support systems that help them thrive.

With brunch in high demand, reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling or texting 833-843-1829. Those unable to attend can still make a difference by donating online at mybrothersworkshop.org or by connecting with the organization on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about how to give. Every contribution helps provide training, mentorship, and hope for the next generation.
