BLACKSTONE, Mass. – In 2017, brothers David Forgit and Kevin Miller opened Goodstuff Smokehouse on Main Street. Since then, the restaurant has had immense success and has always shared that success with its community, they say.
Every Thursday, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Goodstuff donates 15 percent of proceeds to a local organization, such as the Cub Scouts, the Boys & Girls Club, or a local youth sports team.
“We’re a small company, so we have to break (fundraisers) down weekly,” Forgit said. “It allows us to spread it around more; I think every company should be doing a certain percentage of community outreach.”
The fundraisers have operated as a two-way street for Goodstuff Smokehouse, bringing positive attention and many new patrons.
“All charity essentially boils down to greed,” Forgit joked. “It’s selfish of us to do this because it brings us customers and pays dividends. When we do a fundraiser for a local softball team, Boy Scouts, church, or whatever it might be, They bring new customers and new fans.”
