Turns out cleaning your plate DOES help the needy after all. Tonight is Dine for America. More than 16,000 restaurants will partake in Dine for America this evening, where a portion of sales will go toward hurricane relief, including some in the Twin Cities and Caribou Coffee shops.

For those of us who feel federal relief for hurricane victims should come from the private sector, this is a great opportunity to put your stomach where your mouth is. Find a participating restaurant in the Twin Cities HERE.
