APPLEBEE'S DONATES GIFT CARDS TO 30 MILITARY FAMILIES

Donation is a part of an ongoing commitment to support the armed forces and their families.

LIVONIA, Mich., May 1, 2014—The 65 Michigan-based Applebee’s partnered with the Michigan Chapter of Operation Military Kids (OMK), a collaborative program with the U.S. Army to support children and youth impacted by deployment, to donate Applebee’s gift cards to 30 military families as part of an ongoing partnership to honor the armed forces.

To celebrate Month of the Military Child in April, Applebee’s and OMK coordinated events in Lansing and Detroit to honor military children and their families for the daily sacrifices they make as a result of a parent’s military service.

 “We are honored to partner with Operation Military Kids to provide this small token of appreciation to children affected by a parent’s deployment,” said Jasmine Neveles, Marketing Manager for Applebee’s. “Each of our Applebee’s locations regularly supports the men and women of our U.S. Forces, and it is our pleasure to provide this opportunity for these deserving families to enjoy a meal at their local Applebee’s.”

In addition to this donation, active military and veterans are eligible for a 30 percent discount during Applebee’s Military Mondays, and on Veteran’s Day they can enjoy a meal for free.
