Restaurants are not always fine dining, Tim Hortons is one of Canada's most well known and loved chain restaurants. In an article posted on
RestaurantNews, the Tim Hortons restaurant that was set up in Kandahar, Afghanistan for Canadian soldiers has been removed after serving after serving four million cups of coffee and three million doughnuts over five years at that location alone. Canadian soldiers have pulled out of Afghanistan last August, and so has the Tim Hortons. More than 230 Canadian Tim Hortons employees traveled to Kandahar to serve the soldiers, making 11 different work rotations in the span of 6 years. The company made no profit from it's Kandahar location, giving all their proceeds to military families and organizations.

Soldiers even got to take part in Tim Hortons' Roll Up The Rim contest, which I feel is awesome for the soldiers, to give them a taste of home.
This just goes to show that some organizations and restaurants do care about something other than money, and care about their customers!
This article isn't bad, but try to avoid using something from a "competitor." If your magazine was real, you'd be competing with Restaurant News, so you wouldn't want to be seen using one of their stories.
