Jan Pruitt, president and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank notes that, “This remains one of our most popular fundraisers since it enables diners to indulge their inner foodie and help others all in one seating.” We agree that “Giving back never tasted as good as it does each August.”
Every meal consumed during this fantastic local event enables the Food Bank to put food on the table of area children, families and seniors. It is no surprise that summer is the hungriest time of year for many in the community. Whatever your choice of cuisine, you are sure to find a restaurant participating in this annual event.
In a neat turn, this year several restaurants will be offering a lunch option and a special preview weekend August 10-12. A select few will be extending the event through August 26 and September 2, be sure to check here for more details.
