Inland Valley Hope Partners is hosting a fundraising dinner on Monday (March 25) at the Outback Steakhouse, 4492 Ontario Mills Parkway, Ontario.
The dinner is $20, which includes your choice of steak, chicken, salmon or pasta, soup or salad, and coffee, iced tea or soda.
Each table also gets a Bloomin’ Onion.
For the third year, Pacific Western Bank is hosting a food drive for Inland Valley Hope Partners.
Eight branches (five of which are in the Inland Empire) are participating: Corona, Claremont, Covina, Glendora, Irwindale, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and Upland.
The bank has set a goal to collect 500 food items per location. Last year it collected three tons of food, which helped feed about 150 families for a week.
Since 1968, Inland Valley Hope Partners has provided food, shelter and supportive services to children and families in need. It provides close to 70,000 pounds of food every month, so your donations are definitely needed.
If you would like to host a food drive at your company please call Fran Robertson at Inland Valley Hope Partners 909-622-3806x 231.

LA/Ontario International Airport has never been a culinary hotbed, but it just got a little bit worse.
The Applebee’s in Terminal 2 (AeroMexico, Alaska/Horizon, Continental, Delta, Great Lakes and United/United Express) has closed, “temporarily.”
That narrows your food choices in that terminal down to El Paseo Cafe & Bar, Schlotzsky’s Deli and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
Our suggestion: Leave early and stop at In-N-Out on the way to the airport.

Kids of any age can spend a pre-Christmas breakfast with Santa from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday (December 15) at the Rainforest Cafe Ontario Mills, 4810 Mills Circle.
It’s a wonder Santa can take a little time off this close to Christmas, I mean, you’d think he’d be extremely busy…but I digress.
The breakfast, which includes a “knee-high” buffet, family-friendly activities, raffles, photo time with Santa and assorted goodies and treats, is $12.99 for “kids” 13 and over, $8.99 for kids 4 to 12 and free for those under 3 years old.
Reservations are required and can be made by calling 909-941-7979.

In addition, while supplies last, those who bring a toy to donate to Steven’s Hope for Children will receive a regular-sized cupcake.
The delicious fun doesn’t end there.
It’s that time again, and I think this is the year we’ll finally get to see it!
What is it? The making of holiday candies at Logan’s Candies in Ontario.

Logan’s and its candy cane maker, Jerry Rowley, were the subject of an NPR article and interview back in 2007.
