Five area Subway locations will be participating in the April Dine and Donate event. It’s easy to “eat fresh” and support ADFAC at both Clinton locations, along with the stores in Lake City, Oliver Springs, and one Oak Ridge store (at Four Oaks Center on the west end of town). (Submitted photo)

Five local restaurants will donate a portion of their sales on Monday to support Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties, or ADFAC.

Officially launched this past October, “Dine and Donate” is a year-long event, with different restaurants participating on the second Monday of each month.

“We have truly enjoyed watching Dine and Donate grow over the last seven months,” said ADFAC Board Member Cande Seay, who also chairs the Dine and Donate committee. “It has been wonderful to see so many families and individuals enjoying meals to support ADFAC’s work in the community!”

Restaurants participating on Monday, April 14 are:

  • Hoskins in Clinton
  • Razzleberry’s in Oak Ridge
  • Riverview Grill in Clinton
  • Soup Kitchen in Oak Ridge
  • Subway locations in Clinton (both), Lake City, Oak Ridge (Four Oaks Center), and Oliver Springs.

Visit www.adfac.org for a full calendar of restaurants and list of sponsors.

ADFAC is an independent nonprofit agency established in 1987 that exists to serve the basic needs of primarily low-income residents in Anderson and surrounding Appalachian counties. ADFAC’s goal is to help families become stable and self-sufficient through a variety of direct assistance services provided by its Social Services and Affordable Housing programs, a press release said. ADFAC answers more than 6,000 requests for assistance each year.
