Local eateries to help local Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is the beneficiary of a local restaurant fundraising drive that begins today and continues through Thursday: a half-dozen Athens eateries—the Taqueria La Parilla West, the Place, Hilltop Grille, Em’s Kitchen, Amici Italian Café, and Gigi’s Cupcakes—are donating a portion of their profits to the Salvation Army in this year’s Paint the Town Red fundraiser.
