MURPHY’S KEEPS TURKEY GIVING GOING
Murphy’s Bar & Grill’s Turkey Tailgate, an annual food drive, is going virtual this year. Instead of collecting turkeys for a day and hosting a block party at night, Murphy’s is collecting monetary donations online through Nov. 19, with a goal of raising $5,000 for the Hawaii Foodbank.
Don and Marion Murphy will match the first $1,000 given. To donate: Go to 808ne.ws/turkeytailgate, or text “MURPHYS” to 80888.
SCHOOL BENEFIT PAYS IT FORWARD
If you’re looking for a meal over the next couple of weeks, consider a restaurant participating in Island Pacific Academy’s Plate It Forward campaign.
Each day through Nov. 22, a different restaurant will donate a portion of its sales to the Kapolei school. The drive begins today with Tanioka’s Seafood & Catering. Most restaurants are in the neighborhood, although a couple of town restaurants are joining in. Domino’s Pizza will donate for the entire 11 days.
The school will pass on a portion of what it receives to The Pantry, by Feeding Hawaii Together.
Go to islandpacificacademy.org to choose where to eat on what day.
