When we saw the images and news of the devastation the DANA floods left in Valencia, we were in shock. It felt like a direct blow to the heart.
Our first instinct was to help with what we do best. But after thinking it over, we realised that might not be the best way to contribute. Even so, we knew we couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
That’s when the Guía Repsol came to us with a proposal: a solidarity initiative called “Desde Valencia para Valencia” (From Valencia for Valencia), which brings together chefs and restaurants from all over Spain and the world in a large network to support those affected by the DANA. We didn’t hesitate: we wanted to be part of something so special.
What is “Desde Valencia para Valencia”?
It’s much more than a charity event: it shows how food can be a driver of change. Chefs, restaurants and people who are passionate about food have joined forces to organise simultaneous charity dinners, where 100% of the money raised goes directly to helping self-employed workers, shopkeepers and small business owners in Valencia whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated.
At Twister we know that strength lies in unity, and that’s why we’re joining with all our heart.
Our grain of sand: 100% of the Lemmy burger
On 13 December, we’re putting our kitchen at the service of this cause. That day, 100% of what we raise from sales of our Lemmy burger will go to support those affected by the DANA in Valencia.
The Lemmy is one of our most loved burgers, one of our Greatest Hits, and we’re thrilled to think it can become a tool of solidarity and hope for those who need it most. Because this isn’t just about food, it’s about people, dreams and rebuilding together what the water took away.
Why are we doing it?
We deeply identify with all those businesses, self-employed workers and small business owners who, like us, fought to make their dreams come true, only to watch them crumble after the DANA. We can’t stand by when we know what it means to build something with so much effort and see it fall apart in the blink of an eye. That’s why we’re joining this cause with all our heart: because we empathise with those who have seen their dreams turn into nightmares.
How can you take part?

Every gesture counts, and yours can help us make a difference.
The DANA didn’t just leave physical destruction behind; it also took away dreams, projects and years of hard work. At Twister we believe solidarity has no borders, and that together we can make a difference.
Sometimes helping is as simple as enjoying something you love. This 13 December, your appetite can be a driver of change.
We’ll see you at Twister to be part of this incredible initiative!
