Worthy Wednesdays at One Dock

One Dock at the Kennebunkport Inn is pleased to announce “Worthy Wednesdays,” an opportunity for diners to enjoy dinner at One Dock while helping benefit non profit organizations in York County. Each Wednesday beginning January 20th, One Dock has partnered with a local non profit group and donate 15% of the evening’s revenues to that group.It’s a great opportunity for people to support local non profits and enjoy a delicious dinner at One Dock.

We were so pleased by the response of the area’s non profits when we reached out to partner with them. We felt it was a great opportunity to help a lot of worthy organizations, and a way for us to give back throughout the first quarter of 2010. We hope that this becomes an annual program for us. The response has been terrific so far and our partners are very excited. It’s a great roster of organizations we’ve been pleased to support throughout the years, and it’s an easy way for people to show their support because essentially they’ll just be paying for their meals.”
