Local Partnerships Turns 24 Free Meals Into 72 To Those In Need For the Holidays

/

UPDATED: Dec. 14, 2021 at 12:27 p.m.

After seeing Capra Toro’s announcement of 24 free meals to anyone in need for Dec. 19., car dealership Auto Connect Sales and J&L Services has footed the bill for an extra 24 meals each totalling 72.

The decision was made after Cheryl Watson saw the news from Capra Toro and told her husband Martin Templeman and owner of Auto Connect.

Templeman reached out to the Italian restaurant and will pay for an additional 24 meals to be handed out.

“This is a tough time of year for a lot of people so when you see someone do something nice, you want to participate,” said Templeman. “Someone that’s spreading joy or magic, it’s nice to be a part of it.”

The community outreach continued with J&L services as they added another 24 meals announced on Monday.

The meals are going towards individuals or families who are in need or going through rough patches.

The restaurant is encouraging anyone to contact them through Facebook or Instagram to write a brief message of anyone deserving of a meal.
