Fueling Good Is All About Giving Back
Now, you can dine out AND put money towards a good cause. Yes, that means you don’t need to feel guilty about eating the whole burger. Blue Plate Gives has launched at Longfellow Grill with their own Fuel Good Machine. If you dine with Longfellow, you will receive a Blue Chip to vote on your favorite of five charities. Whomever receives the most votes, gets a $1500 donation; voting continues through October 6th. Your turn! Treat yourself to those tasty Longfellow sweet potato fries (sorry, must be hungry) and fuel good. Join the conversation at #BluePlateGives.
