I love Restaurant.com for so many reasons, but here is another: They’ve taken up the “Pay it Forward” concept to help us all give free dining certificates to others this year during the month of December. Here’s how their website describes the program:
Restaurant.com’s Feed It Forward™ will donate $30 million in free restaurant gift certificates – over 30 days – and allow you to treat friends, family, and colleagues —anyone deserving—to savings on a great meal out. When you Feed It Forward™, you have the opportunity, every day for 30 days, to enrich lives by giving the gift of meals and memories. Now until Christmas, you simply choose whom to give to, and we take care of the rest. Each person that receives a gift through the giving site can help Feed it Forward™, by giving free restaurant gift certificates to others.
Is that cool, or what? (The only downside is that unfortunately, some areas don’t really have a choice of restaurants that participate in Restaurant.com–for instance, Vermont has surprisingly few participating restaurants.) Here’s the link to use to give away the gift certificates. You can check on their website first to see if the person you’re sending it to will have a selection of restaurants to choose from. Go forth and feed!
