BATH — Local residents are invited to eat out next Thursday for United Way’s annual Extra Helping Event. On Thursday, Sept. 22, Mid Coast residents can dine at a variety of participating restaurants with a portion of the revenue going to support United Way of Mid Coast Maine-funded programs.
“The Extra Helping Event brings people together around food to help our friends and neighbors,” said Cheryl Rust of Le Garage. “Eating locally and helping locally, plus no cooking. What can be better?”
Participating restaurants include Big Top Deli, Byrnes Irish Pub (Bath and Brunswick), Café Crème, Henry & Marty, Le Garage, Mid Coast Pizza and More, Sarah’s Café, Solo Bistro, and Starlight Café. Visit United Way’s website at uwmcm.org for last minute additions.
United Way’s fall campaign kicked off on Sept. 13 and has already reached 20 percent of its $1.85 million goal. The campaign ends Nov. 10.
