Times are surely not easy for anyone right now. From homelessness to struggling families to single parents with kids, the list goes on.

We saw this initiative on Facebook and immediately knew we wanted to do this in our community.

Anybody willing to pay for a food item or meal just let your server know and we will print the bill to. be taped on here.

Anyone who is hungry and needs a warm meal and cannot afford food, just take the ticket off the wall and hand it to your server. No I questions asked. And we will prepare your meal.

We have an amazing community in The City of Pembroke and we want to help as we’ve been helped when we struggled the past few months❤️

*** We put a few meals up from us. Let’s keep the ball rolling! ☺️☺️ *** See less
