Elmo's Diner

Thank You

Thank you…
For joining us Tuesday, November 10th, to help FIGHT HUNGER in our area. With your help we raised $606.88 to donate to the Urban Ministries of Durham’s Community Café and The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

Many generous customers also asked if there was a way they could donate additional funds at this time of year when it is greatly needed. You can do that by going to their websites which are listed below.

We are thankful for having so many wonderful and generous customers!

First Tuesdays

Both Elmo’s Diner in Carrboro and Durham have fundraising programs on the First Tuesday of each month for their local school systems. If you eat at either restaurant on the First Tuesday of each month, you are helping local schools raise much needed funds. In Carrboro, the First Tuesday program helps support the Chapel Hill Carrboro Public School Foundation (www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/psf) as well as individual elementary school PTAs. The Public School Foundation is the fundraising organization for the entire Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system. Ten percent of the sales from the TOTAL day (6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) are donated to these organizations. Below is a list of the individual school PTAs that are also co-sponsoring the event. Please join us each First Tuesday to help out all the schools!

New Website

If you are reading this post, then you have found our new website! As some of you may know, our old website was a “fossil” and greatly in need of re-doing, so we are very excited to be launching this new one! We hope that you will find it helpful and informative! A huge thanks for the development of this website goes to David Christie and Mark Schueler. David was a full time manager at Elmo’s until he left to do great projects like this one. If you need a website designed, please check website credits for his contact information! Mark has managed at Elmo’s for years and is also a photographer on the side. He is responsible for many of the terrific photos you will see on our site. You can also check out his info under website credits. Both guys really went above and beyond the call of duty and have our sincerest thanks!
