COLORADO SPRINGS — With the cost of food on the rise, one local restaurant is helping out people who may be struggling to get a meal this holiday season.
Monument Pies and Grinders is giving customers the option to pay for someone's dinner. That way, if someone can't afford a meal, they can select from orders that have already been paid for and receive the food for free.
The restaurant says having these orders out where people can see them helps generate more donations.
"Especially with prices nowadays, it's kind of hard to get by," said Luke Knezha, Manager of Monument Pies and Grinders. "So, having options like that, making sure someone can get something to eat, it's good."
Monument Pies and Grinders has been providing this service to the community for a few years now. They say donations have been steady week to week.
