Dine to Donate: Have Dinner, Help Others

Nothing's more fun than going out for a meal - unless it's when dining out also helps people who could use some help.

Dine at in Edison on Tuesday, May 22, from 11 am to 9 pm, and 10 percent of the bill will be donated to help adults with developmental issues.

'Dine to Donate', the name of the fundraiser, will benefit Spectrum for Living, a non-profit organization that helps these adults reach their full potential with quality housing. They also provide clinical services in state-of-the-art facilities and in the homes of caregivers of disabled adults in Middlesex, Bergen, and Passaic counties.

All you have to do is print out the flyer for the fundraiser (which you can find by going to this link) and present it when you pay your bill at Applebee's. That way, Spectrum for Living will get full credit for the 10 percent of your bill.

You needn't eat in at Applebee's to help - you can get your food on the run with their Carside to Go service (they deliver it to your car door outside the restaurant.)

The Applebee's in Edison is located at 1045 Route 1; two other restaurants in the franchise - in Bridgewater and Paramus - are also participating.
