The Cache Community Food Pantry and its Director, Matt Whitaker, have joined forces with several local restaurants to put on its First Annual “Dine-Out to Defeat Hunger” Charity Benefit; the event will be held on Tuesday, February 24th and participating restaurants are donating up to 20% of their dinner-time receipts directly to the Food Pantry.

The cash donations will be used to buy specific food items that are needed to help feed the hungry of Cache Valley as well other items that are greatly needed by those who are clients of the Cache Community Food Pantry.

The Food Pantry is very excited about the response from the local restaurants and their owners who were more than willing to help out during this inaugural benefit being held on February 24th, 2009:

  • Angie’s
  • Firehouse Pizzeria
  • Hamilton’s Steakhouse
  • Iron Gate Grill
  • Cafe Sabor
  • Blackstone
  • Juniper Take-Out
  • Copper Mill
  • Bluebird
  • Mandarin Garden
  • LD’s Cafe in Richmond

So be sure and mark your calendars for February 24th…a Tuesday…and whether it be Dad’s turn to cook, a night out with friends or a “date” night between couples, make sure you think about the Cache Community Food Pantry’s “Dine-Out to Defeat Hunger” Charity benefit and patronize the above-listed restaurants who are generous enough to support this great cause!

THANK YOU, CACHE VALLEY!

The true and inspirational story of Brenden Foster, the young man who recently passed away from leukemia, has touched the lives of so many throughout the United States; he has inspired thousands of individuals to donate massive amounts of food, cash and volunteer time to Food Banks in every state.

For such a young man, it is incredible how good-hearted and wise he really was; while his stay on this earth was brief…his legacy will live on forever.

If you have been contributing to food banks or food pantries lately, we thank you very much and hope you have a happy holiday season!
