Other ways to support the cause
Can’t make it to the benefit? Here’s two additional ways to support Hunger Task Force at Easy Tyger during the month of September:
Donate food! Beginning mid-September there will be a bin in the restaurant to collect nonperishable food items for Hunger Task Force. Preferred items include canned fruit and juice; breakfast items including cereal, oatmeal and pancake mix; high protein foods including peanut butter, canned meats, canned beans and stews; canned vegetables; infant formula and baby food; dinner items including pasta, macaroni and cheese and potato mixes; and lunch items including canned soup and pasta.
Drink a cocktail! Todd Hasselbacher has also brewed up a very special sweet corn cocktail made with house-infused black pepper vodka, which will be served throughout the month of September. Proceeds from the sale of the cocktail ($8) will be donated to Hunger Task Force.
