Yorktown's Burger King restaurant, located at 385 Downing Drive, is running a special “Dining to Donate” promotion on Friday December 16th to benefit Yorktown Community Help Food Pantry.
According to David Humphrey, one of the directors of the food pantry, Burger King approached them with the proposal to raise funds.
“We're very thankful to the management of Burger King for initiating such a generous program to help us provide for Yorktown residents who depend on our assistance,” Humphrey said. “The spirit of giving during the holiday season is always heartwarming, but a program like this can help fund our efforts well into the new year.”
