Have a meal at The Northside Social and support local charities

No better reason to get a good meal, that’s for sure. Every month, The Northside Social partners with a local organization and donates 5% of their total sales. It’s all a part of “Give Back Tuesdays,” and this month, The Northside Social has partnered with Dayspring Center. They seek to shelter, feed, clothe and assist homeless families with children throughout Central Indiana, helping them become independent, self-supportive families once again.

In February, they’ll partner with School On Wheels whose mission is to enhance educational opportunities for school-aged children experiencing homelessness. Their program serves as a consistent support system during a time of great stress and fear. They provide one-on-one tutoring, school supplies, and a parent program to assist parents in being the best advocates for their children.
