We all need to eat, and if we can help others while doing it, all the better.
Several Atlanta restaurants and food non-profit organizations are participating in Giving Tuesday, the "holiday" every Tuesday after Thanksgiving that encourages people to contribute to charitable causes in their communities.
Here are some ways you can participate:
All locations of Farm Burger will donate a percentage of Tuesday's sales to help those in need.
