So we were sitting around a couple of months ago, and we thought, what can we do to make Charlottesville a better place? Sure, we try to offer great food and service, but that’s really just our job. We need to actually give something back to the community in return for everything the area has done for us.

So, we came up with an idea. We came up with lots of ideas, actually, but you’ll see more of those next year. For now, we said, why don’t we just see how many toys we can gather for the area Toys for Tots Foundation? We know the economy is awful right now, and sometimes it’s hard to justify buying something for someone you’ll never meet, no matter how small. That’s where we come in. We’re trying to lessen the blow a little.

We’re giving you free food.

That’s right, you heard us. For every toy you bring in from now until Christmas, we’re going to give you a coupon for a free appetizer. And there’s no limit on the number of toys you can bring in. One toy, one coupon; ten toys, ten coupons; etc. It’s just that simple. (Well, there’s one catch: it has to be new and not gift-wrapped. But that’s easy.) Shoot, you can really get into the giving spirit if you want, and bring in a bunch of toys, then use the free app coupons as stocking stuffers for everyone you love! Whoah! Giving multiplied!

Really, that’s all we wanted to report. It’s our first year doing this, but we’re hoping it’ll catch on quickly, and every year after this, everyone in the area will stop in with a toy or three. With your help, we’re hoping to bring a little extra holiday joy to some area children. So bring in those toys!

Sincerely,
The Timberwood Family
