Just choose a participating restaurant and go for breakfast, lunch or dinner on June 21 (coffee breaks & happy hours count, too!) -- 5% of your check will benefit Mid-Ohio Foodbank's Operation Feed campaign. Every dollar raised can provide 2 meals!
Please help us spread the word:

- Round up a group to "Eat Out To Fight Hunger" on June 21.

Did You Know?
Volunteers are a critical piece of the Mid-Ohio Foodbank operation, vastly increasing output of an 85-member staff by offering 12,000 extra sets of hands annually. From sorting frozen meats and breaking down bins of fresh produce into manageable packages, to checking expiration dates of items donated by the retail food industry and packing thousands of food boxes monthly for low-income seniors, volunteers touch a huge portion of the total food distributed annually by the organization.

When everyone does a little, the Foodbank can do a lot!
