Started by previous owner Roland Houle, continued by Chef Alan & Paponake MacIntosh.
OUR BELIEF
Chef Alan and Paponake MacIntosh have always stood by a simple, powerful belief: if you are hungry and you can not afford it, we will take care of it and make sure you have a meal.
At every restaurant they have run, this promise has held true. Zippity Do Dog is no exception.
“If you’re hungry,
we’ll feed you.”
— CHEF ALAN & PAPONAKE MACINTOSH
HOW IT WORKS
Customers can add any amount to the Pay It Forward meal fund when they order. Every dollar goes straight to buying meals for those in need.
All contributions are pooled together. The fund grows with the generosity of the Zippity community — one hot dog at a time.
Anyone who is hungry but can not pay can receive a Combo meal, no questions asked. Zippity Do Dog will always be a place where everyone is welcome.
ROLAND'S LEGACY
Roland Houle started the Pay It Forward program at Zippity Do Dog, embedding generosity into the very DNA of the trailer. When Alan and Paponake took the reins, they knew this was one tradition they would never let fade.
The same community spirit that Roland built lives on in every meal shared — whether paid for or given freely.
Next time you are at the window, just let us know you would like to add to the Pay It Forward fund. Every bit helps us keep the grill hot and the door open for everyone.
