The TAP is flowing

by Dave McNair

As Dish mentioned in the beginning of February, organizer Gwen Goodkin was hoping Charlottesville restaurants would participate in UNICEF’s TAP Project. At the time, only a few restaurants had committed to the project, but now Goodkin reports that 23 local restaurants have signed on. Click on the image of the flyer on the left to see the full list.  

What’s the TAP Project? It’s simple. Order tap water during the week of March 22-28, which happens to be World Water Week, and opt to pay just $1 for that water and the proceeds will go to helping secure clean drinking water for children around the world. Donations are voluntary, but that $1 is enought to provide one day of clean drinking water to 40 children. 

“It’s a small commitment with big rewards,” says Goodkin. ” The key is to get local restaurants to participate.”

So, whatya say restaurant owners, how about visiting the tapproject.org and registering before the March 15 deadline. And foodies, make sure to ask your favorite restaurants if they will be participating in the TAP Project! For more information you can contact Goodkin at 984-46-49 or email her at goodkingw@aol.com
