Get Out: Food, Fundraisers, And Fun

Two great fundraisers for Friday night dinner

Sure, you could take home fish and chips from Ye Olde English, but this week, why not do something even more New England and eat out for a great cause?

• Clam Cake and Chowder Dinner

Help support the Woonsocket music students at an all-you-can-eat clam cake and chowder dinner from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at . Red & White chowder will be served and take-out is available. The event costs $7 in advance or $8 at the door, and children 10 and under pay just $6.

• Italian Workingmen's Club Food Drive Fundraiser

If chowder is not your thing, head over to the at 6 p.m. on Friday for the Fourth Annual Food Drive. Live music by Wildtime will accompany beer and dynamite with proceeds going to Because He Lives Ministries and other city food pantries. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Club (advance purchase appreciated) and will also be available at the door. All funds stay in the City of Woonsocket.

"Iron Man" Burks Rocks Chan's
