The Kin Club of Kingston, East Side Mario’s and Hope for the Holidays have partnered for a Christmas fundraiser to help those in need this holiday season.
Kin Club President Trisha Pedros explains.
Starting October 19th, and running for 8 weeks, customers at East Side Mario’s Kingston on Gardiners Road can donate $5 and receive a $10 gift card for their next visit. All donations will go directly to the Hope for the Holidays Christmas campaign. The goal is to raise $7,000 at the restaurant. And to make it even better, Kin Kingston will be matching donations up to $5,000! That's a total of $12,000!
It’s a great example of local businesses and community organizations coming together to make a difference, especially at a time when so many families are struggling as East Side Mario's GM Nicolas Boudreau reports
East Side Mario's will also be a drop-off location for anyone to donate a toy or item to the cause and they will also be rewarded with a $10 Be My Guest gift card.
