We usually think of kids and families going hungry in the winter. According to a Gleaners survey, however, the number of kids enrolled in the summer lunch program went up 200% between 2006 and 2010.
To combat child hunger, Cladddagh Irish Pub in Livonia is hosting a “Stock the Pantry” rally to benefit local food bank partners on July 16-18.
Audra Borger, sales manager at Claddagh Irish Pub in Livonia:
ConAgra Foods and Feeding America created ‘Child Hunger Ends Here’, a program to benefit local food pantries across the country. Forgotten Harvest and Gleaners Community Food Bank are the beneficiaries, so we are eager to host an event. The bottom line is it’ll be a great party for our guests, all for a great cause!
Cordette Grantling, the woman featured on the NBC’s Dateline special on Detroit, will be the guest of honor, along with her family, on July 18th.
Guests will receive the following:
- If you donate 3 non-perishable food items, you receive a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert.*
- A $5 coupon gives you $10 off your meal of two entrees and two beverages.*
- On Sundays at the Claddagh, kids always eat free!*
This is an easy way to make a difference while having a great night out. And, you know I like Irish pubs, right?
*Free appetizer or dessert coupon cannot be used on the same day received. $10 coupon cannot be combined with any other coupons, promotions or offers except “Kids eat free on Sundays.” Children age 12 and under. Only valid July 16-18, 2010
Claddagh Irish Pub Livonia is located at 17800 Haggerty Road and will be open Friday and Saturday, July 16-17, 11 a.m.-2 a.m.; and Sunday, July 18, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
