Water is fundamental, as are the specifics about a fundraising event taking place Thursday night at Mom's Bar and Lounge [LAist Story]. Wells4Wells is running happy hour events all over the nation that night to raise money to build a well at a school in sub-Saharan Africa. They need just $5,500 to make it happen, and to help out in Los Angeles, Mom's Bar will donate 15% of everyone's order between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Quench your thirst from their well (or wealth of booze, if you don't want "well" drinks), and then head outside to get some snacks from the Manila Machine [LAist Story] who will have not only their tasty Filipino eats for sale, but will donate $1 from each order of Chicken Adobo sold from 6-9 to Wells4Wells.
