Please join us for the "coolest lunch in town." COTS supporters, in an effort to raise awareness about being homeless in the cold winter months, will eat lunch outdoors on the Church Street Marketplace, noon-2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17.

For a donation of $25, diners receive an entree and a non-alcoholic beverage at Farmhouse Tap & Grill, Halvorson's Upstreet Cafe, Leunig's Bistro or The Scuffer Steak & Ale.

(And, if you'd like to dine inside, New Moon Cafe and Boloco will give a portion of the day's proceeds on Dec. 17 to COTS)

Also, enjoy hot coco, courtesy of Ben & Jerry's!

Reservations encouraged, but not required. You can make reservations at www.cotsonline.org or directly through eventbrite: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/2014-coolest-lunch-for-cots-tickets-13965748931
