On the first day of semester break, Arts Division Head Tom Kane and six Middlesex students spent the day at Concord’s 80 Thoreau, helping serve at their annual charity brunch to raise money for the Greater Boston Food Bank. The students supported the 80 Thoreau staff, who were donating their time for the day, by checking coats, waiting and bussing tables, and working the dishwasher to help the restaurant raise over $6,500. The Food Bank estimates that each dollar raised provides for three individual meals, putting the day’s results at close to 20,000 meals. It wasn’t all work… after service, the MX volunteers were treated to an awesome brunch cooked by 80 Thoreau’s head chef, Carolyn Johnson.
