Do Good While Dining Out

Add philanthropy to your plans this weekend: These local restaurants will donate a portion of their Sunday sales for World Food Day.

HAMILTON, MA – On Sunday, a portion of all food sales at 15 Walnut will go to the Acord Food Pantry in honor of World Food Day.

The Serenitee Restaurant Group, which owns 15 Walnut and other local restaurants, is donating a percentage of all food sales at their local restaurants, including Hale Street Tavern in Beverly Farms, Cala's Restaurant in Manchester, Opus in Salem, and Minglewood Tavern and Latitude 43 in Gloucester.

15 Walnut will also hold a canned food drive for the Acord Food Pantry. Diners that bring in a canned food item to 15 Walnut will be entered into a raffle to win an Around the World Card, which is good for a free appetizer at any Serenitee restaurant.
