Customers at Cindy's Catering and Cafe can receive $1 for dining at the restaurant. Everyone who goes into the cafe for lunch will receive a $1 bill.

Cindy Crawford, the owner, calls it her version of the economic stimulus package.

Mrs. Crawford said that she wanted to help put the dollar bill back into circulation. If 100 people eat lunch at her restaurant and receive $1, it adds up to $500 a week or $2,000 a month going back into the local economy, she said.

To help customers, she has also lowered the price of a glass of tea to 50 cents.

Cindy's Catering and Cafe serves soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps, along with hot daily specials. The cafe is open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The locally owned and operated family business is at 4015A Washington Road in Martinez.
