School is out, and Father’s Day is around the corner: These are just two of many reasons to celebrate with a Dine and Donate meal!
On Monday, June 8, six local restaurants will donate a portion of their sales to support Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties, or ADFAC. Launched in October 2013, Dine and Donate is a yearlong event, with different restaurants participating on the second Monday of each month.
“Whether celebrating the fathers in our lives or simply beating the heat, dining out at least one of Monday’s Dine and Donate restaurants is a fantastic way to enjoy the season,†said ADFAC Board Member Cande Seay, who also chairs the Dine and Donate committee.
The restaurants participating on Monday are:
- Buddy’s bar-b-q in Oak Ridge and Buddy’s ORNL Café,
- Gondolier in Clinton,
- Hoskins in Clinton,
- Papa Murphy’s in Oak Ridge,
- Razzleberry’s in Oak Ridge, and
- Salsarita’s in Oak Ridge.
