The restaurant has only been open for nine months, but put up $2,000 for the Thanksgiving effort so it could give back to the community.
Wimpy’s owners partnered with local non-profit Small Change PTBO for the event. The group helped promote Wimpy’s initiative through social media and postering downtown locations like the bus terminal and the food bank, trying to reach those who might want to come into the diner for Thanksgiving.
More than 15 volunteers donated their time to help the event run smoothly, and given its success, Zaman hopes to do it all again next year.
