On Sunday, St. Peter Catholic Church in uptown Charlotte will again host Garden of Eaten, which offers grilled hot dogs, soft drinks, chips and cookies to fans walking by on their way to Panthers games at Bank of America Stadium.

All donations go to charity. For the Panthers-Seahawks playoff game, Garden of Eaten will be open from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in front of the church at 507 S. Tryon St.

Garden of Eaten, a football Sunday institution for 19 years, has contributed about $150,000 to charities such as Urban Ministry. It also buys books for a special reading program at Druid Hills Academy.
