Flavour Teams Up with Lunch Break

Red Bank's culinary alliance, Flavour, has chosen local soup kitchen Lunch Break as its official charity beneficiary, the group announced Thursday.

The partnership kicks off this spring and summer with a new campaign called "Give Some Flavour, Get Some Flavour," a mutually beneficial promotion that encourages diners to eat at some of Red Bank's favorite restaurants on Monday night by promising a portion of the evening's dinner sales will be donated to the non-profit organization.  

"As an alliance of culinary professionals, we feel that Lunch Break is the perfect organization for Red Bank Flavour to work with on an on-going basis,” Valerie Aufiero, owner of the Front Street Trattoria, said in a prepared statement. "With such a diverse restaurant community in Red Bank, our combined efforts can really make an impact. We all feel we have the resources to help support Lunch Break’s community-based mission."

The Monday “Give Some Flavour, Get Some Flavour” promotion begins this Monday, May 21, according to a release, and will continue through the summer months. Participating restaurants include, , , , , and .

In addition to the ongoing “Give Some Flavour, Get Some Flavour” promotion, Lunch Break is organizing a special, town-wide “Family Night Out” on Tuesday, June 12. Lunch Break supporters will be encouraged to dine at participating Red Bank restaurants as part of a one-night-only fundraising initiative, the release continued. Efforts that support Lunch Break’s mission of ending hunger and providing basic necessities to community members will be organized on an on-going basis through the Red Bank Flavour Culinary Alliance.
