Customers at a Mullica Hill restaurant have donated thousands of dollars over the past six years to a local food pantry.

The Harrison House Diner had a tip jar to collect funds to benefit the charity Your Place at the Table. However, it was stolen in 2017.

In the years since, customers responded by donating more than ever before.

They have donated about $20,000 since the incident.

Constantine Benas, the owner of the diner, says now they are aiming to reaching $50,000 in donations.
