Eat Lunch and Help Your Neighbors: It's a Win-Win!

For years, I've heard of the Tammy Lynn Center. It was the charity that Band Together chose last year, I've heard of other local events to benefit them, too. But I've never taken the time to actually find out about them and find out what they do. Guess what? They are amazing. They are more than just "the charity that Band Together picked last year."

The Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities is amazing. They do so much good work- and they help children and adults all over Wake County.  I went and toured their facility a week or so ago- they do so many amazing things there. They help families with disabled kids-whether it's helping families caring for their loved ones at home by providing respite care, to giving up to 70 adults homes on their Raleigh campus, or taking kids at risk for developmental disabilities and getting them ready for main-stream kindergarten, or making sure families in Wake County who are caring for their disabled loved ones at home get what they call respite care-someone from the TLC comes in and helps out so that families can get on with the things they need to like errands.  They provide therapy for kids and adults in their care, too. They do so much to provide the people in their care a normal life. 

Won't you help the Tammy Lynn Center?

Luckily, you don't have to go out of your way. All you have to do is eat lunch! Visit any one of the 26 Raleigh area Jersey Mike's Subs between now and June 25th. Make a small donation to the Tammy Lynn Center, and get a coupon for a future visit.  It's that easy! Eat lunch, help your neighbors. Do good while eating good food. Who's in? 'Cuz I know I am.

Do good at Jersey Mike's! Now 'til June 25.
