A local restaurant has arranged a way for Orange-area residents to contribute to the Orange Volunteer Fire Department just by having dinner.
Prime 16, located at 464 Boston Post Rd., has set Dec. 15 aside as a special day for supporters of Orange firefighters. The restaurant says it will donate 20 percent of the orders that day to the Fire Department. Orders can include food eaten in the restaurant or picked up as takeout. Diners must tell the order-taker that they are participating in the Orange Fire Department program.
“We appreciate Prime 16’s gesture,” said Orange Fire Chief Vaughan Dumas. “This is a great way to make a contribution to the fire department, take a night off from cooking and support a local restaurant.”
Those who wish to participate can go to Prime 16 or call them at 203-553-9616. Diners should mention that they’re supporting the Orange Volunteer Fire Department. Sales tax and alcohol sales don’t count toward the total.
