FAQs
I missed Give Back Day but want to help support Watauga County Schools. How can I help?
Great news! Come Back Shack will be hosting Give Back Shack days this school year on the following days- Tuesday, January 21st, and Tuesday, April 29th! There will be more opportunities for you to dine with us at our original location and our NEW! Downtown Location as well as provide donations for Watauga County Schools on these days. If you would like to donate directly to Watauga County Schools, you can call them at (828) 264-7190.
How much money was raised during Come Back Shack's first Give Back Days in the '23-'24 school year?
Come Back Shack is pleased to announce that we sent a total of $10,826 during the '23-'24 school year to Watauga County Schools! Thank you to all of our gracious community members that ate with us on these days as well as submitted donations (which were donated in their full amount).
What is Give Back Shack?
Give Back Shack is what we're changing our name to on Tuesday, January 21st and Tuesday, April 29th! It's in honor of the spirit of giving back to our community- mainly students of Watauga County schools.
How will Come Back Shack be helping Watauga County Students?
According to Monica Bolick- Director of School Nutrition for Watauga County Schools- there was an outstanding balance of around $24,000 just in student lunch debt in the '23-'24 school year. $21,000 of this balance have been covered by community members (close to $11,000 coming from Come Back Shack) already, but there is still always an amount that needs to be covered during each new school year. Come Back Shack wanted to help the School Board and county tackle this debt by hosting a Give Back Day where a portion of ALL sales made on Tuesday, November 19th, Tuesday January 21st, and Tuesday, April 29th will be going back to the school debt fund.
What portion of sales is Come Back Shack giving back to Watauga County Schools?
Come Back Shack will be giving back 20% of sales made at both of its Boone locations- Blowing Rock Rd and Downtown Boone- from November 19th. Any donations made will not be a percentage but rather a 100% donation that will go directly to Watauga County Schools.
What do I need to do to participate in Give Back Shack day?
Eat at Come Back Shack Boone or Downtown Boone anytime on Tuesday, November 19th! It's that easy. You don't have to mention you're there to support as a portion of ALL sales will be going back to the Watauga County School Board!
Can I purchase a T-Shirt for this event?
Yes! T-shirts will be available for purchase on Tuesday, November 19th in the restaurant! Short sleeve shirts= $16; Long sleeve shirts= $20.
