# KHON: "Restaurants give back by serving meals to Honolulu’s homeless”

**TL;DR:** Ruby Tuesday and Chef Chai served meals to Honolulu's homeless as part of the Giving Thanks program. The event is hosted by Ruby Tuesday six months before Thanksgiving to help donation centers running low on supplies.

## Story

Ruby Tuesday and Chef Chai celebrated a day of giving back on Thursday when volunteers from across Oahu served lunch and dinner at 10 different shelters on the island. This is the fourth annual "Giving Thanks" program for Ruby Tuesday , who hosts the event six months out from Thanksgiving when donation centers are typically running low on supplies. Through these generous efforts, dozens of homeless men and women were able to enjoy a turkey feast and fresh seafood.
