Eat your lunch in the street tomorrow

You have to eat lunch tomorrow….well, at least you’re probably going to. What if your lunch dollars NOT ONLY bought your lunch, but also provided shelter, educational opportunities, day care and hope to a homeless child? That’s a pretty decent return on investment!

For the 1,300 kids in Indianapolis who eat their meals and spend their nights in the streets, homelessness is a bitter reality. So, on Thursday, October 2, The Salvation Army will take another bite out of homelessness by inviting those who live and do business downtown to Eat in the Street for homeless kids.

For this event, the northwest quadrant of Monument Circle is partitioned off so lunch-goers can come by to Eat in the Street from 10:30am – 1:30pm. Applebee’s restaurants graciously donates their time and food to this event so all proceeds from lunch sales go to our Homelessness Bites campaign to end homelessness in Indy. We’re also thrilled that Classic Hits 104.5FM WJJK is our exclusive radio partner for Apple Fest this year.

Now that you know what THEY get, here’s what YOU get: for only $3 you’ll get a freshly grilled Applebee’s entree (either 2 mini cheeseburgers or 2 mini chicken sandwiches) and a flavored lemonade. Top that off with a dish of hot apple cobbler for only $3. Bottled water will also be available for $1. Where can you find that kind of meal for $6 PLUS a do-good deed for the day? Only on Monument Circle tomorrow!

Apple Fest is a great opportunity to use your lunch dollars to make a difference in Indy. Want to know more? Give me a call at 224-1019.
