Tuesday, October 25th, will be a busy day at the Wayside Restaurant on the Barre-Montpelier Road with a major non-perishable food collection for local food shelves and a dinner benefit. The food drive, sponsored by UPS and Keating Construction, will take place between noon and 5 p.m. where it is hoped that enough food will be donated to “Stuff a Truck”. This event has been planned to help toward flood relief in Central Vermont. UPS will also have on the scene their famous UPS Flame Car.
On the same day, the Wayside Restaurant will be holding a dinner benefit from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will donate 25% of those dinner proceeds to Green Mountain United Way also for Central Vermont flood relief needs. Some UPS employees will be on hand to help bus tables that evening.
So, mark your calendars now and plan to stop at the Wayside on Oct. 25th to donate some nonperishable food items and stay for dinner. Central Vermonters who were adversely affected by this summer’s floods will be very appreciative of your help. Don’t miss this event!
