Eat local burgers, help build affordable housing in the Sault

Burger enthusiasts can support local and help build affordable housing during Habitat for Humanity's fourth annual Soo Burger Month in September.

This citywide fundraiser is supported by a plethora of restaurants with a minimum of $2 per purchase going towards Habitat's latest project — a five-plex on Goulais Avenue.

The Burger Passport, available at participating restaurants and the Habitat ReStore, lists the locations of the restaurants, the special new burger they will be serving, and the Habitat donation per burger sold.

When you purchase a Soo Burger Month burger, be sure to have your waiter or waitress sign the passport. There will be special prizes for those who visit the most participating restaurants.

This event combines supporting local businesses, raising money for affordable housing during a housing crisis and eating great burgers!
