#OrsoAlaska #RestaurantWeek🍽️ Anchorage Restaurant Week is coming October 22-29!

So, how does it work?

1. Pick a participating restaurant.
2. Go out to eat during Anchorage Restaurant Week.
3. Look for how that restaurant is participating. Some will feature a special menu item or donate a portion of certain sales, while others will give you an easy way to donate directly to Food Bank of Alaska.

That’s it. Eat local, support Anchorage restaurants, and help provide food for Alaskans facing food insecurity.

Right now, 1 in 6 Alaskans faces food insecurity. This October, your plans for lunch, dinner, dessert, or drinks can help make a difference.

🧡 Dine out against hunger.
