Just the other day, I was out to eat with my friends at Butterfly down on the piers, where I had the tender duck dish. Food was delicious, but what surprised me more was Butterfly’s partnership with StreetSmart4Kids. For those of you that don’t know, SS4K is a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to keep homeless teens off the street. The campaign they are running this year is called “Dine Out and Donate.” All you have to do is visit one of the participating restaurants around the city (visit www.streetsmart4kids.org for a list) and give a donation when you pay the check. It’s a really great way to give back to the community without the stress of doing strenuous community service labor. So next time you’re going out for a night on the town, check out SS4K’s restaurant list and kill two birds with one stone—eat great and do it for a great cause!
