Restaurant Night Out July 31 to Benefit Lunch Break

 

DINE OUT AT RESTAURANT NIGHT IN RED BANK TO BENEFIT LUNCH BREAK

On Wednesday, July 31, join your family and friends for dinner out in Red Bank to help Lunch Break fight hunger. A portion of the evening's proceeds will be generously donated by each participating restaurant directly to Lunch Break.

Participating restaurants are:  Gaetano’s, The Bistro at Red Bank, Danny’s Grill & Wine Bar, Front Street Trattoria, the Melting Pot, Pazzo MMX, Sicilia Café, Taste, Teak, and Chicken Kitchen.

For 30 years Lunch Break has freely provided life’s basic necessities—food, clothing and fellowship, and much, much more, to community members in need.  Their mission is to alleviate hunger, and to lead those they serve to self-sufficiency and healthier lifestyles. In 2012 alone more than 56,000 hot meals were served, more than 7,000 food pantry distributions went to families, and there were more than 8,000 clothing distributions. In 2012, in the wake of Super Storm Sandy, disaster relief was added to the long list of services provided by Lunch Break, all under the direction of the Board of Trustees, along with Executive Director, Gwendolyn Love, her small staff, and the willing hands and hearts of more than 2,000 volunteers, in addition to the generous support of the Red Bank community and all surrounding communities.

So, why cook when you can enjoy an incredible dining experience with family, friends, or business associates and support a terrific cause? Upon arrival tell the maitre'd that you are there to support Lunch Break and you will receive vouchers to see "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at the Count Basie Theater that evening (7pm start).

If you can't make it in time for the movie, that's ok; just enjoy a more relaxed meal. If you can't make it for dinner, that's ok, too. Make a reservation for lunch that day and that will also help Lunch Break fight hunger.
