TRIPIL receives grant for summer programs
Tri-County Patriots for Independent Living, who advocate for people with disabilities in Fayette, Greene and Washington counties, recently received a $1,000 grant as part of the Restaurant Community Grants program from the Darden Restaurants Foundation Inc. The grant will be used to provide summer programs for youth with disabilities in the three counties.
The grants program, now in its third year, empowers each restaurant in the Darden family of brands to help award a $1,000 grant to support local community programs. The donation will enable TRIPIL’s project to reach school-aged children through arts and sports activities and provide them with skills training, advocacy, leadership skills and peer support.
Darden’s Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, the Capital Grille, Eddie V’s and Yard House brands participated in the program.
