Franks for Friends

With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, Perfectly Frank’s Diner in Norfolk, VA wasn’t sure if they’d survive, but thanks to loyal customers who started making donations, they’re open. But here’s the best part… They’re giving back in the form of free meals, with no questions asked. Anyone in need of a good meal can visit Perfectly Frank, pull a ticket off of the “Franks for Friends” bulletin board, in exchange for a menu item. Even the donation board system was inspired by a single donation! One friend and longtime customer donated $2,000 to the restaurant, insisting that $100 went to each staff member and the remainder of the money went toward feeding the community. With the remaining $700, they started giving away free meals. You can see the inspiring story now. So far the restaurant has donated over 100 free meals to the community, and there’s plenty more to come.
