Giving back to the community is on the minds of Gary restaurant owners Kendall and Debra McMiller this Christmas season.
That s why the McMillers, the owners since June of D & K Gourmet Salads, are hosting a free meal and coat giveaway from noon to 3 p.m. Monday. We were shown so much love by the Gary community that it s our way of giving back, Kendall McMiller said.
Similarly those throughout Northwest Indiana are doing their part during the holidays to assist others this year during a time of increased need including the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana as well as local churches, soup kitchens, The Salvation Army and Region township offices.
