What’s so special about Thursday, January 26, 2017? It’s the 7th DINE UNITED – an event designed to bring the restaurants of Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties together in an effort to help the people of our community. As we all know, times are tough. There are citizens right here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties struggling to keep their jobs, pay their bills and maintain a decent quality of life for their families. But there is hope! Through United Way and its affiliated agencies, restaurant staff and their patrons can help fellow residents with critical needs such as food, clothing, shelter, child care, safety from domestic violence, help for Alzheimer’s and much more.

On Thursday, January 26, 2017 restaurants in all 3 counties will be participating in Dine United by either donating a percent of their proceeds, a percent of the wait staff tips or a straight donation to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc.

The public can help too by simply dining out at one of the participating restaurants! Start your day with a breakfast treat, then visit one of your neighborhood restaurants for lunch… finally, go home and grab the family for a delicious dinner at any participating restaurant. Be on the lookout for Dine United restaurants near you and on January 26tht, 2017 remember to DINE UNITED for United Way. Mention to the participating restaurants that you are there to Dine United and enter into the drawing for raffle prizes that have been donated to the United Way.

The mission of United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. is “To be a leader in community partnership building and to increase the organized capacity of people to care for one another. The money raised from this event will go to help fund the 44 partner agencies that help the community in a variety of needs.
