The Great American Dine Out

               As the season begins to turn, and the weather starts to turn cold, we all prepare for the next few months that will be spent mostly inside. During these months, we’ll put down our salad forks and pick up a soup spoon to compliment the weather with warm and cozy comfort food. However, this is not a luxury that we are all able to endure. Try to imagine being a young child, coming inside after hours of jumping in leaf piles, and not being able to refuel with a nice meal. Think about how it feels to go off to school, and when lunch time comes around, everyone around you unloads their lunchboxes but yours is nothing but empty. These are all scenarios that we plan on changing, but we need YOU to help!

      September 19-25, 2010 we will be taking part in the Great American Dine Out. We’ve partnered up with Share Our Strengths™ in effort to end childhood hunger, right here in America. Here are the steps we’re taking to make a difference:

       • The Share Our Strengths™ Tweet-A-Thon: Lend a helping hand and log on to Twitter on Monday September 20th from 9am – 4pm and join us on our Twitter feed for all day contests and giveaways! The twitter follower that RT's the message to the most people that day wins a $50 and a secret super surprise. Not too shabby huh?

      • In Store Donation: Come on in and donate just $1 and get $1 off your next in house purchase. Just by dining at one of our restaurants you're supporting our endeavor to end childhood hunger in America.

          

           More than 16 million kids who are eligible for meals don't get them, but we plan on changing that. Only 1 in 6 eligible kids get free meals, but we strive to fix that. Help end the year on a good note by contributing to a bigger picture and changing a child’s life. We’re asking you to join us in our stride towards ending childhood hunger in America, and help bring a full plate to a child’s table.
