Starting today if you dine-in at chili’s or grab carry-out, you will not only enjoy a good meal, but help Hoosier foster children.

Chili’s has a statewide “Give Back Program” and they selected the Villages of Indiana organization to donate to.

All 18 Chili’s locations in Indiana are participating. All money raised will benefit the non-profit’s children and families because the need is greater than ever.

More and more Hoosier children are entering the foster system. The number in the last few years has gone from 12,000 to over 20,000 children.

The non-profit helps foster kids find a safe and permanent home. Currently, they serve more than 3,000 children and their families daily. It’s the state’s largest therapeutic foster care provider and they also provide child abuse prevention services.

Here’s how the give-back program works:

Before going to Chili’s, you have to download and print the participation voucher.

Once you arrive, make sure you give your server the voucher.

You can order any food (snack, lunch or dinner)

When you pay your check, 15% of your bill will go to the Hoosier children and families

Chili’s will also donate on customer’s carry out orders

The program runs from November 21st to February 18th, 2017. For more information on the cause and how to obtain a voucher, log onto https://www.villages.org/.
